Whoa that's pretty deep. I don't think replacing them with another one would be cheap. I'm kinda in the same vote, though I have a big curb rash damage on one of my wheels. I thought of replacing it with another one, but I found that just to replace one, would cost me another 200+. Google rim repair around your area. I got one from a bimmer forum in the Sac area and found a guy would repair 1 rim for only 100.

Here's the link:

should be the same concept except instead of curb damage you got a deep crack on your rim. Hope that helps.

well i looks up rims to replace it. their buddy club sf 17' 4x100 their running around 150-170 per rim. im just thinking is it worth repairing or buying a new one?

I guess it depends on how easy you can find a spare. Look for some quotes, who knows you may find something. GL man!

I would just buy two new rims and craigslist the cracked ones for cheap.

i would get new wheels to replace the bad ones, under $200 a piece is not a bad price.

was these the wheels you already had on your car? or you just bought them?

yes, a new wheel is better then a wheel thats been repaired. I doubt it will be that much less to repair them anyways.

I agree with everyone that says replace it cause it might leak and you are just going to waste money to repair it and then have to purchase a new one
