I've got a wheel with a crack in it, and I want to make it a coffee table or end table out of it, with a piece of glass on top of a tire. The problem is because of where the crack is, a tire will not hold air. It's an aftermarket aluminum half, not a factory wheel, and since it will be a table the weld doesn't have to be too good, I'll file it down myself so the tire sits right (or close enough) on it, I just need it patched cheap. Any ideas?

Heh, about 500 miles away in Pittsburgh, but if I don't find a place here to do it I'll drop you a PM next time I'm on LI, which should be about 6 - 8 weeks.

Check out www.alumaloy.net. Do it yourself with just a propane torch. I saw it on TV, and it looked pretty good. Another option, why not put a tube in the tire?
