My mechanic recently had trouble balancing this rim. What I can't tell is whether this is a crack in the wheel or just the way it was produced, I am assuming it is an original widened cooper style rim.




It will cost $115 to re-roll. Is it likely to need other work "welding" or is this a normal looking rim.
Minisport offer a new old style rim for $149, is this a better option, or is there any old style rims which are not buckled, that I can buy reasonably cheaply from someone in SA.
