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

[LL - NY]

I've had a wheel repaired by Ye Olde Wheel Shop in the Baltimore area, and I
do know that Wheels America (multiple locations) has a good rep, but the
cost is pretty close to the price for a direct replacement from Semple,
especially considering two way shipping.  I'd save the wheel repair for
either locals or unreplaceable rims.
