dilocruzy Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Hello there, On the past couple of weeks I have been meaning to get get my rear right hand side tyre checked as it was taking two days for the pressure to drop by half... Anyway, been to my local tyre place yesterday and total horror... found that there is a massive crack about 10 cm deep from the inner lip in in a V shape. I currenty have some BBS alloys there, they are quite old so I though it would be a good time to get them all replaced. Here is a shortlist of the ones I like all 18": Lexus TTE http://www.toyotaclub.ru/img/model/PZ439-X0670-ZP.jpg Bersaglio Mesh: http://www.hartwheels.co.jp/bersaglio/catalog/mesh2/MESH2_wheel_image.data_/images/MESH2image_02.gif Trafficstar STM (HPB Finish) http://swtyres.co.uk/i/wheels/trafficstar/stm_hpb.jpg And lastly VSM Vellano: http://www.autodirectsave.com/productImages_thumbBIG/6bf5ee91_1172.jpeg Traders, which ones could you quote me on? Prices for the set for pickup please.I currently have 9.5J at the front and 10.5 J at the rear (265 40 18 rear and 235 40 18 front) Can a cracked alloy be repaired anyway? You have seen the kind of style I like so please feel free to suggest any you like/stock that you think may be of interest. Danilo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewie Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Can a cracked alloy be repaired anyway? Not safely. You will need to weld it and the high temperature will anneal the wheel and affect the strength of the whole wheel. Ditch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
