Hi,
I have just noticed that one of my rims has a crack through one of the spokes. Was wondering if anyone knows if this can be repaired or if I will have to buy another rim?
It's a fairly large crack & seems to have cracked the whole way through the spoke so am guessing I probably shouldn't be driving my car at the moment! :-(
My car is 2000 DC2 Type R completely stock.
I have a few pics of it but not sure how to put them up here :-(
As far as I understand my state laws (in Victoria) it is actually illegal to repair a cracked rim. There are people who do fix rims so I would try taking it to them first for a professional opinion. My guess however would be to start looking for a new rim.
You can try a local wrecker as they might have something in stock - or be able to get you one. Alternatively you could try Honda, but expect to pay a fair amount for it.
refer to the thread in this very part of the forum on posting pictures.
Anyway dude, if its a major crack which goes all the way thru then thats bad. Go and get it checked out by a mechanic or an engineer. If its a stock rim maybe you could pick one up from a wrecker sumwhere.
cracked rims are unsafe - time to replace that rim asap or get a new set.
all the best............
Mmmm that's what I thought.. :-(Quote:
