[s-cars] Cracked Avus wheel-help!

[Lee Levitt]

Wheel shops won't generally try to repair cracked wheels. I had an S4 wheel
that was cracked, and Rim Pro declined to repair it, sayint it wasn't
safe...

It is a failure point...you hit a pot hole with that wheel and it could
shatter.

A tube would solve the leak problem, but IIWY, I'd get it replaced ASAP.

Ebay has the wheels occasionally, if another lister doesn't have one
available.

...this is why I now buy at least 5 wheels at a time (and my last purchase
included six!)
