Alloy Rim Repair

[leonard]

Can the sifus here share your experience on alloy rim repair ? I got one rim bengkok with a crack width of about 3 inches long ! any suggestion how much would it cost to repair ?? Would the performance be as good as before ??

3 inches crack???? If you're the type who drives hard and fast, I think you'd better replace the defected rim. No point trying to trying to save a few hundred bucks trying to salvage the cracked wheel as safety will be compromised.

cracked???!!!!
that's serious... don't think it's worth repairing a cracked rim... Bent rims still can be repaired without compromising too much on the metal strenght but cracked rim is a totally different thing.
