where to fix rims?

I have a hairline crack on a set of rims that i have, does anyone know a place that can fix it? it's a fairly cheap rim adr's or something so i dont want to spend more than the rim is worth. thanks.

^ ADR's are cheaper than cheap. no offense, but you're better off purchasing a brand new wheel. those wheels have been known to crack on the yellow hard speed bumps.

Freddy's is on Ilaniwai Street about 1 block in from Ward, on the mauka side. i think his phone is disconnected, so your best bet is to go to the shop. best times are after 6pm.

hope this helps.

yeah, thanks. i know adr's are cheapo rims but they're for my brother's 92 civic so i kinda ruled out buying some hre's.
btw. it's a 1 inch hairline crack, you guys think i can weld and sand it myself?

^ no problem. HRE's are great wheels, but you're truly just paying for name. it is possible for you to weld and sand it yourself. lots of people have done it before. just make sure that you get it balanced, then stroll on it for about a couple blocks, then re-check the weld. with hawaii's perfect roads, you never can tell.

JDB you've waited 1 year! Sheesh 2 months and waiting for my rims to get fixed too! O well, no real choice on this island where to get em fixed. I'll probably stop by sometime to see how it's going.
