I cracked my rim

Why can't one just keep running on a cracked rim? Put some fix-a-flat type slim stuff in to stop the leak. Is there eminent danger?

depends on the weather

does the term "catostrophic failure" mean anything to you ?????

the crack will get bigger under the stresses generated by driving

The shop is in Santa Ana and they do awesome work. Curb rash on a wheel is about $40-50 bucks per wheel.

Here you go:

They are good but make sure you get your original wheel back. They tried to give me a different one that had a major gouge on the inside.
