Cracked Fuch
I have a chance to buy a set of 7's & 8's for a good price BUT.... one of the eights has a crack in one of the petals. Can this be repaired? Once repaired, how safe is this wheel?

Don't pass if the price is right. . . . If it's that low then maybe you can just dump the cracked wheel and just wait for a single 8 to pop up for sale.

the cracked wheel is worth nothing more than an ornament. so price the purchase accordingly. Take a real hard look at the rest of the rims too!

Cracked ones make nice garden hose holders. How much are you willing to pay for a garden hose holder?

I don't know. Fill that crack, paint it, & throw it up on the garage wall for decoration! How much is a nice poster worth?

Thanks for all the replies. I'll be picking up 3 wheels and one hose reel today.
