Cracked rim?

[loud2004marquis]

If an OEM Marauder rim has a crack in one of the spokes, is it repairable?

The one I'm looking at still holds air according to the seller.

How much do you think something like that would cost to get repaired if it's possible?

I'd get a reputable weld shop to take a look at it. Will prolly need to be heat treated after welding, and how that'll affect the finish on the wheel is anybody's guess.

IMO, I'd look elsewhere for another rim.

^^^ Yeah. Sounds like a loser and may be dangerous.

"Anything is repairable with a welder" BUT, how many wheel weights are acceptable to you? 😉

I have eight extra rims now, all within the last year, and have never paid more than $150 each. With figures like that I would pass even if it were free.

there is a reason why a perfectly good rim is cracked. Impact!

I would not get the rim. To many out there for sale that are in good shape.
I have picked up a few last year, easy to get.
Would you fly in a plane with duck tape on the wings?
Price of fixing maybe more than a rim in good shape.
