can these cracks be safely fixed? (sport classic II)
noticed a problem with a rear wheel today, it has 4 cracks in it 
I'm in MA and there's a few places that do repairs locally, plus it's a 2 piece wheel so worst case I could get a new barrel for it I guess
#1 and #2 are almost perfectly opposite, while #3 and #4 are three inches apart and about 10 inches from #2
any help would be great, thanks,
Tom

First, it appears to be a 2-piece welded wheel (no bolted) which would mean it will cost almost as much as a new wheel to have a new out rim half welded on it. That's the bad. The good is that by looking at the pics, it can easily be fixed. I would recommend Wheel America.

it's certainly not welded, it's bolted, it's this wheel here:

not sure about why it cracked, but I'm bringing it to a local place with a great repair reputation today to have a look at it

law in MA is that if you run over a pothole, the city is liable for damage to your car..... i say take it up with the city first and see what you can get out of it.....
Boston streets sucks when it comes to driving.......take the T it's safer on your P-Car

having gone through that hassle once before, I'll just buy a refurb from wheel enchancement 
yes, the streets do suck, I'm sure they'll be worse after today since the temp went from 45 and raining to 10 in about 36 hours
