LMAO . MIGHT have gotten away with that on the 13" / 14" heavy spoke mags but NOT with 18" mags.
Flimsy pieces of crud as it is without cracks

They will have to be PROFESSIONALLY welded/ spin trued /balanced & CERTIFIED.
If you bodgy weld them & flick them off/ then they break causing an accident. YOU could still be charged for selling unsafe mag wheels & have to pick up the blil for the accident.

lol. I have welded up heaps in the past. Older mags are good to weld up, the ones you get nowadays are just junk. Also have had to weld up quite a few on 4X4's ( thats an SUV to you Aucklanders) that have been out off roading and been bashed up. (note to you 4wd enthusiasts, alloys are no good for off roading, get some steelies for that sort of thing). Have also had a few customers nut off because of where the repair was carried out it wasnt polished up to the standard of the rest of the mag, Even tho it was an Engineering shop and not a mag repair outfit, had to go out and buy a dremel type tool so they could be polished up a bit better. was ok as we just charged them more labour haha
