Alloy repaired.. Should i replace?!
« on: July 28, 2013, 08:03:40 pm »
Had a small hairline crack in my alloy its been welded and back on the car now but should i just buy a new one and sell repaired one? Anyone ever had their alloys repaired for them to crack again?! And anyone know of where i can get a team dynamics pro race 1.2 in matte black 19inch?!

Depends on who did the repair. If its a reputable company/welder then no problems. It will be virtually as strong as before.
If its a back street job and you have doubts then sling it!
Would your conscience let you flog a known problem and let someone else have the accident?

If he is good then it will be strong enough! No worries.
