Cracked my Rim
Unfortunately these wheels are discontinued so I will have to replace them all. Looks like I will be switching to 11" wide in the rear sooner than I thought

Re: Cracked my Rim
You can check with places like http://www.wheelsamerica.com/Wheels-...-Locations.php who can tell you if they can fix it & can widen it to a 11" wheel while it is there.

Fixing 1 wheel & widening 2 wheels is likely cheaper than 4 new wheels. They turned 2 of my 9" wheels to 11's & powdercoated them. I couldn't be happier with their work!

Re: Cracked my Rim
Thanks, I will check them out
I am not sure what I hit. It was during bumper to bumper morning rush hour traffic and I didnt actually see it. I slowed down to see if anything was flat but felt ok so kept going to work. Forgot to check it after I got out but noticed a vibration while I drove at highway speeds. There is always some retread debri and other stuff laying on the highways these days that you have to watch out for

Re: Cracked my Rim
I've fixed wheels with similar damage before. Hardest part would be trying to match the color. I've always just polished the wheels.
