Amici...
I agree with Scott's take...
To my knowledge 'alloy wheel repair' is highly cosmetic, vice structural.
This is especially true for old 50s/60s 'mag' wheels. They were never designed
to take the stress of today's modern racing rubber.
You can fix them up and use them to make a good looking street car (or trailer
queen), but I sure would not race on a crack repaired alloy wheel.

Subject: [Fot] GT6 Alloy wheels not repairable, need replacement
The consistent advice I got from the experts was - replace, don't repair. The
wheels are cracking because they are fatigued, and welding will create
potentially create adjacent weak areas that will fail.
So, I'm looking for new wheels. What is the GT6 and Spitfire crowd running (I
need 13x6)? Revolution wheels have been suggested and are a strong
possibility, there's the ever-present minilite style, others?
