Crack in Alloy Wheel
 
I noticed a small leak from the rear tyre recently and after dunking the wheel this weekend i found a small leak from a crack in the inner side of the wheel rim an inch long.

Does anyone know of any wheel repair specialists in the Oxfordshire are, if not then any further afield would be appreciated if they can be recommended.

Or, should i be looking for a new wheel to be on the safe side.

Thanks for any replies.
Cheers

Looks like scrap to me mate, scuffs and chips no problem, cracks are something else, you could pop it over to Pristine in Milton K for an opinion

Definetly scrap, don't even think of trying to get it repaired. What sort of wheels are they? Have you hit anything recently? No sign of impact damage from the photos.

I'd be checking the other three very carefully indeed, imagine two cracks like that six inches apart joining up at 90mph, complete decompression, wheel in pieces. Doesn't bear thinking about.

There's some alarmist crap posted on here in response to some posts but that to me is well worrying.
