yo what's good son? Hey i just cracked my rim today! was driving on the freeway and didn't see anything in the road but ran over something that popped my tire and cracked the rim on the inside lip. Got a hold of a company called Kwiksilver out here in Sacramento. Dude told me $80 to weld the rim but if he has to mount the tire then its $100. www.kwicksilversac.com is where i checked it out at. Ill be gettin my rim repaired come next week so I'll let ya'll know how it goes.
