    Fuchs Rim Repair?

    Calling on all the rim experts. Can a crack in a Fuchs rim be repaired? The crack is in one of the spokes. Not the outer rim. I'll try to get some pics.

    In answer to your question, yes it can be repaired. We have done it quite a few times and also use a weld rod with a similar metal to the fuch thus minimising the visual weld if the wheel is being re-anodised.

    Thanks, guys. Luckily I have a second set of rims that should work for now. When I make the switch I'll get some detailed pictures and post them.
