Cracked Rim..Weld or Buy New Rim?

[illtacticz]

I have a 2000 GTP. I had a blow while driving and the rim is now cracked. It is not a bad crack. about 1/2 inch on the inside of the rim. Should I weld it or buy a new rim.

Or should I say, if I weld it... would it hold up until I can get a new rim?

Get a new rim, or pay a shop to professinally fix it.

No point in doing it yourself, having it go bad and then losing another tire and having to buy another rim anyway.

if it creats a slow week i wouldnt worry about it to much, i have a cracked rim and i just keep an eye on it if it gets low i fill it up, i can usually last 2 weeks before its to low
