question on aluminum alloy wheels

Hey guys, I haven't posted anything for a long time, but I don't know where to start with this problem.....My girl's Ex decided it was a good idea to slash my back tires, I didn't realize until I started driving about 100 feet, got it towed, fortunately I still had my steelies, so I put them back on. Taking a close look, I found one of the rims has a small crack in it, I asked a car technician if it was fixable, he explained aluminum alloy wheels will only get worse with a crack, even if it is welded back together. They are strange wheels, I bought them from Anton Tumas, if anyone knows him. They are MOMO Corse Giarroso, imported from Japan, very nice 16x7.5, 55 mm offset, some kind of special semi-forged alluminum alloy, not sure exactly what that entails. Anyways, is there anything I can do? or have I lost my MOMOs....................

oh man... i feel for you... momo doesn't make wheels anymore either, so it'll be nearly impossible to get another tire. i can't offer you any suggestions, but while you're waiting for other people to respond, go ahead and kick his *** for this childish act.
