Unhappy Pelicans hekp bail me out! Will it ever end??

Prepping my "miami vice" wheels for tires I noticed a crack on the rim lip. It is on the inner rim half of my 8X15. It is a three peice wheel. So what to do? Does anyone have an OZ model o2-c 8X15 inner rim half?(long shot I know)
How much and how long would it take someone to weld it up...and who? I have my first DE in a couple of weeks at Gingerman and didn't really wanna show up with all season radials on cookie cutters. And I already ordered my Khumos.
So once again...HELP!

Shawn, I wouldn't bother welding, can't you just order a new inner half?

Chris,
I am CHEAP! I may be able to but since these wheels seem to have gone out of style I was hoping someone had an old rim half or an odd wheel lying around. Did I mention I am CHEAP? Also Any idea where to order an inner half for a 3 peice OZ Racing wheel Mod. 02-C 8X15? It was manufactured in 1985.

This is going to be your first DE? Ever? And you're planning on using Kumhos? I'd stick with the all-season radials on the Cookie Cutters - you'll learn alot more and you'll probably have more fun. Save the Kumhos for when you really need them.

Mike,
Good point. I guess i should leave my Porsche motorsports driving suit at home too? (just kidding)
Maybe i should run my street tires. I probably would learn more.
I would still like to locate a rim half though. any ideas?
