Wheel Restoration

I was wondering if it is possible to repair cracks in wheels?

I have seen professional companies repair cracks. Personally it's not something I would try to do myself at home

Depends on where they are and what the rim is made out of. Some cracks can be repaired if they are not in a highly stressed area, like the bead, due to curbing or something. Steel wheels are often easier to repair. Cracks due to fatigue in the centers of alloy wheels are often terminal.

Post a pic and you'll get plenty of input.
