I own a set of 19 inch Racing Hart C2 Evo and I cracked a rim does anyone know of where I can pick up a rim? I don't care if it is a blimished rim. (with a minor scratch or fading in color) Any hints will help. I already cracked this rim and it cracked in the same spot as last time.
Thanks in advance

Check out this place, it's in N. Hollywood. While you had the rims repaired already, see if they can work on it, if nothing else comes up.
I'm not affiliated with them, just had some work done there before. I had one medium crack in a rim, but cracked due to poor workmanship (from another shop, not this one mentioned in N. Hollywood), no leaking at all for months (versus a few days). Lots of exotics there too.
Cracks have to be cleaned out and slightly drilled out, like a tooth cavity and then properly welded back with good filling material, learned something new over there. Most shops just welded or try to seal without cleaning the cracked area.
