Southern Hardstyle Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 have a pair on rims i bought with cracks in one. Leaked so obviously no good. Wondering how hard to weld up the cracks in it/someone to go to/cost of getting them welded up, will have to get some pics, not too bad of a crack just want to know how much it'll set me back. Even any OS boes in AKL tht can weld and want to do a cashy. Will get pics up within the next half hour as they at a mates, will bring them back to mine. are rays engineering volk racing rims, 5 stud 17 X 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Definitely repairable. Cant recommend anyone in auckland but any place that can tig weld alloy should be able to do it easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwlee Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Take it to someone who knows what they are doing such as Arrow Wheels in Kelston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 i can weld it for you, but i cant machine it afterwards. (like i usually do) i dont have access to a lathe big enough to spin a 17" rim, but if push comes to shove i can ask around. PM me if you want me to do it. i'll charge you about 50$ just to weld it, 100$ if you want me to machine and polish it too. let me know.

sholdowa Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 had worse cracks on mag minilites and found a company near Eindhoven to fix them no problem 20+ years ago. Was more dangerous grinding the welds flat.... !!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
