Looking for somewhere or someone preferably local to stoke on Trent that can weld me a couple of splits I've got on the inside edge, one split per wheel on two wheels





Seems a shame to weigh them in as they suit the car

Trial fitted today

I had one done at National Alloys in widnes, Think it was around £30 per wheel to be done.

You need to find someone who can tig weld ideally.. It will never be 100% but that can be repaired to a pretty good standard.. I had some nasty cracks like that in one of my GT3 rims and my mate tig'ed them up good!

They are fine, Never had any problems with them. They balanced up fine and don't have any issues with any air loss or steering wobble, It was a while ago now (When I had my Ibiza a few years back, Cheap replica wheels!)

I appreciate that it'll never 100% but it's on the inner edge so wont be seen as such and I'll put the repaired ones on the rear providing their not going to lose air and balance up ok then it's half the battle
