Fikse wheel repair

What do we think of this crack on a Fikse wheel? Repairable? Am considering buy a set of used 19" Fikse Profil 13's, three of which are in perfect shape, but one has this crack. If fixable, I'll continue with the purchase (a good deal, I might add).

Would appreciate your input.

TIA.........Rich

much safer just to get the outter replaced. never trust fixing a cracked wheel.

So did this wheel crack under normal expectable driving conditions?
I bet they were, and that even if you fixed it, you might break it or
another of them soon after. Buy 19' wheels and drive like you'd run if
you were wearing high heels, or stick with 18" wheels and drive like
you mean it... MHO...

Call Fikse, give them the serial# which is on the outer edge of the wheel center and get a price from them. It's the best way to go. www.Fikse.com
