oh no Rays wheels are not suppose to crack. only knock offs do!

stress fractures can happen especially on those entry level rays wheels.

Two other instances of bent/damaged Volks on this board. Here's one:

People keep railing on the knock-offs being crap, but dismiss when Rays wheels fail. Any wheel can fail.

To OP: I'd ask the local So Cal forum.

I have a cracked rim too. Someone tried to fix it by just spot welding it. Is that how they are supposed to fix it?

i heard that is supposed to be like not"safe" but im not sure, whered you get it done, and hows the rim holding up?

Depends on where/how the rim was cracked. Spot welding is still compromised in rigidity--so if it crack on a spoke or something I think you might have to replace it. Should ask some wheel specialty shop.

A place like that, except in socal.

I suggest taking your rim to Tru Wheels located in North Hollywood. Just google and you'll find them. I bought a set of used Volk GT-7s that had terrible curb rashes. I was skeptical at first, but they did a great job and cleaned up pretty nicely. Don't be turned off by their simple website. ^^
