[s-cars] Cracked Rim.....

[Steve Mills]

If it's a 5 spoke, it's one of the Fuchs- 16X8. They're forged, so it's
pretty impressive that you cracked one.

You probably can get it welded, but you may be better off sourcing a new
one- it's rare for those to fail, so there may have been a manufacturing
defect.
