cracked my rim :(
new york roads.. all those potholes !#$%#$%#$
i somehow managed to crack my stock 17" oem rim..
any ideas where to fix it? or where to buy new/used one?
it goes for spare anyway, so i dont need brand new one
thanks in advance

Well here's proof that you can even crack a set of stock wheels 
It's all about luck.
As for a repair, it is fixable. You should see where your Lexus dealer get it's fixed...

ALEXUS, I'm from Bed Stuy!! I was down this wknd for a wedding, and I was all over the damn place, Canarsie, Queens, Canal ST!! Anyway, I know 2 spots, one is this Spanish dude named Felix off atlantic Ave. the exact street is pacific between classon and franklin, and its more towards the corner of classon. Felix fixes cracks and and a jamaican dude named Hugh fixes bends. Altogther I spent about 1000 dollars with them guys when I had a race drop, 18x8s, and a 215/35-18 on my 95 Accord!!!
BTW, a cracked rim weld will run you about 55 bucks, and a rim straightening will run you 75-150. Although its a real gypsie operation, they do decent work for a decent price. The other spot I know is Poor Freddies on Merrick Blvd in rochdale queens
