HELP!! Cracked Wheel/Rim

Alright Guys, I have a cracked Wheel/Rim and am looking for a replacement. I know a lot of you cats are rolling on aftermarket wheels and I hope that maybe somebody out there has a factory wheel for an 2003 SE Titanium Edition laying around they dont have a need for anymore.

Just take the wheel to a wheel repair shop. They can probably weld it back together.

Not a fan of welding wheels. Throws balance off and that spot is permanently weaker regardless of repairs, etc. To be safe, get yourself a replacement or go with a different set altogether.

Try the classifieds and Craigslist. You're not gonna find anything in the main forum.

If it's aluminum or magnesium it's repairable, I use a shop down here in Houston that has repaired wheels I would considered to be totalled and this shop totally rebuilds them and balances them to perfection....you would never know they were totally destroyed....
