After a couple failed attempts in having my rim repaired by a company located in Sacramento I decided to ask around and find another service.

Through a common friend I was able to hookup with “Tony” a race car fabricator located at Jamestown, California. This is about 45 minutes from my location higher up the hills.

The previous TIG service tried to do the repair using MIG and did not prepare the rim correctly. The cracked areas required a bevel that allows TIG material to penetrate the material and adhere to the rim correctly. These beveled techniques are performed on both sides of the rim.

The completed TIG welded cracks are left with the excess and not grind down flush for additional strength.
