Default HELP! I have the MAK Energy rims (18X8) and need to replace a cracked rim.....

The only problem is they don't produce them anymore and TSW doesn't have any in stock. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do. I'm in deep s%&t because I can't afford to throw down the cash for a whole new set of rims.

Note: they have the 18X7 in stock

Default Have you tried to have the rim repaired?

Check your yellow pages for a wheel repair place and drop it off there, see if it can be repaired.

Post where you live, people might have a referral for you.

Cheers

Default Thanks, I'm in L.A., I had dropped them off to be repaired/straightend and thats when I found out ..

They told me it was unrepairable but I just called back and told them the situation and they're going to see if they can work any magic on it. The shop is Custom Wheel Finishing in North Hollywood if anyone has heard of it.

thanks again
