Default Cracked front wheel

Have a 2000 coupe with a crack in the inside bead area. Is this at all fixable? If not, who has fairly priced replacements?

Thanks-

Chris

I have had several wheels fixed. Look in the yellow pages under wheel repair or google "aluminum wheel repair in (your major town)

There a lot around CT where I live and I have always had very good results with the repaired wheel.

Heres my example for the GOOGLE SEarch:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=aluminum+wheel+repair+in+new+london+CT&gbv=2&oq=aluminum+wheel+repair+in+new+london+CT&gs_l=heirloom-hp.12...2016.24829.0.26844.38.35.0.2.2.0.1016.5452.0j15j1j2j0j2j0j1.21.0...0.0...1c.1.-cs9injFUtA
When you click on the link, it will actually google search as you watch LOL

Default Cool link,Bill

I had a broken one right off the bat. Found a place with rebuilt ones for around $100.00 a few years ago. Already polished and perty!
