Repairing cracked alloys

[Kneale Brownson]

An experienced welding shop can repair that.  I have one that a local
welding shop that has experience with wheels fixed that I use as a
full-size spare.  Ask your tire places for local references.  If you want
it to be "pretty", find one of the places that's into refurbishing wheels.
