    Wheel repair help *Saleens*

    Okay, I have an 18x9 Chrome Saleen rim that has about a 2 inch crack on the inside of the rim, it has been leaking air slowly from it for a while now and I cant keep airing up the tire every 4 days when it gets flat. I tried some JB weld on it but it still continues to leak. Should I try putting more of it on? I think it slowed down the leak a little bit but cant tell. Or does anyone know how to just repair it so it doesn't leak anymore. Plan on buying some 18X10's for the rear when money permits. Already have some new 285/35/18's for the rear and dont want to mount them on a leaking wheel. Anybody have any ideas???

    Hell, a new 18x10 wheel is 179 bucks from american muscle. I wouldn't spend 100 bucks to fix a wheel you're going to replace anyway, if you can make it work moneywise.
