Cracked alloy

[Stuart Thompson]

Hi all I have an alloy wheel with 4 cracks in it, is this too many to be repaired? The car doesn’t do too much fast work probably 10 miles a day of 30 mph driving. Also can anyone recommend anyone in north west Kent area who would be willing to do the repairs?
Thanks.

You'd need to have a specialist assess it to see whether it can be repaired. With multiple cracks present, think about whether it's safe to drive in the meantime.

I would think there is no limit to the number of cracks that can be repaired, but as V8S says an expert would tell you.

Personally with 4 already in it I would be worried when/where/how bad the next one will be!

This was from a hairline crack, took it to Pro Alloys in Melksham who repaired it and its fine. They do all the proper inspection to make sure its safe

Personally with 4 cracks I would bin it and find another.
