I've had a cracked rim fixed at Alberta Wheel repair last year . It has cracked again at the same spot and doesn't hold air. What other options are there as I don't feel like paying AWR to fix it again.

A quick Google search pulls up Kwicksilver Wheel Repair?

They may fix it for free if its their fault.

I had a very good experience recently with Kwicksilver, but my wheel wasn't actually cracked so I dunno if he'd be able to do that (although mine did require welding to fill in a huge 'notch'.)

It's probably worth a call to him. Do let him know that the first repair failed. Maybe he could try something different to fix it once and for all.

When I had mine curbed, I called up Andrez at Alberta Wheel Repair. Google them.

Lol, you gotta put down the pipe. Read the first line of the first post.

Yea I know he asked cracked and I mentioned curb. The point was that he runs a wheel repair business, so am assuming he must do all kinds of repair. I personally am only familiar with the fixing curbed rims part.

And as for the pipe being put down? Never! I like sheesha Haha

Thank you. That's what I meant. Maybe I really should put the pipe down.
