Ok so I have some DPE S-20 wheels (3 piece) my options are get it locally fixed for $110 each (i have 2 that are damaged) and the local shop told me that if they crack then they have to weld it and it will be another $60 so $180 a piece. They give me a 1 year warranty on the weld.

Option 2: Send it to DPE so they can install the new inner lip on my wheels ($250 each).

 

By inner lip you mean the piece of the barrel on the inside of the wheel that is not visible correct? If so, I would just get them fixed. If its the outer piece thats polished, I would opt for new pieces

 

Get em fixed, shouldn't be an issue. I've had my iForged repaired a few times w/o issues.

 

Fix them. They are well worth it.

 

Yes the side that is NOT visible, the side that is closest to the brakes. Anyway The thing is that it might crack and if it does i'll have a welded wheel..
any issues with a welded wheel? maybe durability or rough driving?

 

fix them

 

nope the weld should be stronger than the actual hoop
