Cracked Rim

[Leylah]

So Ive had what seemed to be a slow leak in passenger front tire.
Couldn't visually see anything that may have caused, so Id fill it & it last a few days & Id come out from work or wherever & it be flat!
Took it into tire shop to see what they could find...
& the damn rim is cracked! So they did some sealant thing temporarily. .
My question... is this repairable or do I have to throw down $300 for a new one??

Definitely repairable. About 40 - 70 a rim where I'm from.

An inner tube would be a low cost option.

I have seen some rims drilled at the cracked ends, sanded and welded together. Costs about 60.00 per rim out here IIRC

They do that at a few places here too. You should be able to find a wheel shop to fix it near you.
