Aluminum rim question
This isn't truck related but there is a lot of knowledge here. I have a set of Corvette aluminum rims that are chromed. One of them has a 1/4" crack in the outside of the rim on the lip. Any way to fix that and have it neat, durable and inexpensive?

Re: Aluminum rim question
In Pittsburg CA. there is a place that repairs wheels, thats all they do. They would make it to where you couldn't tell it was ever repaired. Their name is Pacific Rim I believe.

Re: Aluminum rim question
For future reference, they directed me to
Precision Wheel Works 916.641.7454 and ask for a guy named B. J.

Re: Aluminum rim question
Pacific Rims does a lot of work but cracked and chromed aluminum they don't do.
I'll update once I get a quote.
