    Majority of wheels on the road are cast. Only the wheel repair shop got the experience to tell you if they can safely repair your wheel... They can weld those crack if it occurs.

    Remember, they got liabilities on repairing wheels so they know what can be done or not.

    Sketchy. Get new wheels.

    most option factory wheels are forged and all Ronal, which is why they cost more. Welding up cracks in wheels is mad if you drive fast or hit potholes, they crack due to overstress or shock, be glad they dont repair aircraft wheels.

    I've used Wheel Wizard in Atlanta, http://wheelwizard.com/, a couple of times with first rate results. They even refinish the inside of the wheels which some don't. Prices are reasonable and turn-around quick.
