i am also intrested in changing the colour of my wheels to black can any one recomend a good place to go? and how much roughly?

you can get it welded, spit and polish in tonbridge are pretty good or im sure theres someone on here that refurbs wheels

Do you mean a crack or a scuff?

If it has cracked - structurally - bin it

wrx sti 320bhp 25-01-2012 07:30 PM

its got a crack about a inch long in the inside of the wheel

cracked wheels should be binned,not worth the hassle of trying to weld
as the heat will further weaken the wheel

seems like such a wast nice wheel:sad:

Car medic will come to you and it's £50 per wheel for repair and paint but if it's cracked bin it.
