It is possible to weld a damaged wheel if you can not locate a replacement. What happened? Is it holding air? Jim jdorociak@gmail.com

Default Ruf Rim

No the rim is in two,well it would be if the tyre was removed. the crack is 360 degrees. I was doing a hillclimb, turbo kicked in just as i hit the shoulder on a corner and "bang" it virtually exploded. I am finding it difficult to get one on any continent ( i'm in Australia) Brian

I have a line on an NOS 17x10 if you still need it.

BSMIB,
If you are interested, I have an aluminum rim specilist in Azusa California that does rim repairs. He actually does rim widening for custom applications. Let me know if I can help.
