Default Cracked wheel repair?

Whats up guys.

I pulled my EXE wheels yesterday only to find that both rear wheels have cracks in the beads. Is there anyone out there who can fix my rims? Or am I pretty much SOL? I can post pictures if needed.


Thanks.

Someone good with tig welding aluminum can fix your problem... most any wheel repair shop can do this and they have specific tooling to make the bead round again after the welding is done, though you could get it pretty good with a grinder and a file...
