How to fix a cracked RIM/WHEEL (Cheap + Easy)

DIY way to fix up a cracked wheel so it will stop leaking air!

Bruh, that might get you home but you better believe that is no solution. The crack will continue under stress for sure. That rim needs the tire removed, stop drill the crack, weld, grind, polish and treat the bead area. If any of you want to use the the JB weld, make sure scuff the hell out of the surface for better adhesion.

According to my tire place I have the same issue. I have not yet pulled the wheel and found it for myself but if it resembles this I will do similar, but I think I like the two part JB Weld (two tubes, squeeze and mix). I think it's holding power will be superior. Also, one way to prevent a crack from continuing is to drill a small hole at the end of the crack. I have seen this method in light aircraft. I think a tiny drill hole maybe 3/32" at the end of a crack might stop it. The JB Weld seals. Hold my beer.

Will it work with JB weld if the crack is causing air to leak?

Can u update. Did this work and hold air? And for how long

Just incase anyone is interested. I just had a crack in the same spot on a Advan Gt forged rim. Was 210 bucks to fix by a professional shop. It's welded, repained and balanced with tire.. spend the money. You only get one life and for a cheap rim it's not worth doing it hack. But his method will at least get you home if it's not holding air.

Repair cost in Atlanta $225 first crack $50 each additional. I tried jb weld and it’s hard to get to cover the crack completely with tire still on. So I’m gonna now put fix a flat in it to seal rest of the small leak. 🤞someone said put a thick plastic bag between tire and rim to stop the leak. Fix a flat will ruin my air pressure sensor. So I’m still hesitant.

Nice ima try this tomorrow which jb weld did you use the jb weld steel stik or the jb weld epoxy compound ?

[HennyBoyZoo]

Its like Mario Cart watching out for potholes

Couldn't you just balance it by putting The same amount of JB weld directly across on the other side just a thought I figure it would be more balanced then just being on one initial side

I got my rim welded and after few months more cracks formed 😭 i might jus get a new rim

Whats that's name this paste??? This tube.??

I think other way to do it would be to take the tire off, sand it a bit and put chemical metal epoxy on both sides of the crack, then sand and paint it again. Thats a whole lot of more effort though :D

“Where is my crack” someone’s son says this on the reg

[bradj]

Tried it before. Doesn’t last more than 5 minutes on the car. Don’t bother, just weld it for real.

Yo J, did you at any chance see a white civic hatch with a turbo hood dump last winter?

[TheBarrios]

I can't believe you made this video. 😅 That will not hold..

[mikemedcheck]

This is very temporary.Do not do this and expect it to last

Gum on cracked wheels 🤔 not for me thanks

[franciscopimentel]

I don’t think that wheel could ever get properly balanced again
