No, the JB Weld won't work to keep those rims from cracking farther. You
need to, in my opinion have someone with a TIG welder weld up those cracks,
more fusing the existing metal than adding more metal, although of course,
he will add some metal in the process. Then with a grinder, you bring the
surfaces back to where they are aesthetically pleasing, and repaint. If the
job is done right with a TIG, or less desirable a MIG welder, you will have
very little cleanup to do.

John,
This was my original plan, but I was told by several people that the wheels
would warp, rendering them completely out of balance. I have a mig in the
garage. Simple enough job, about 2 seconds really, but will they warp?
