I have a few small cracks on the inner rims of my 22" Overfich Super Seven wheels. The cost of replacing them is prohibitive and to get a specialist to repair them is pretty costly also.

I'd echo that. A 2.5 ton car at 100mph+ = a lot of stress on the alloy wheels. I'm not even sure I'd trust a professional repair. |

Overfinch alloys have a long standing reputation for being too weak and cracking. They use a cheap manufacturer (i am told).

I've seen then do somethign similar on the american car restoration/bling programmes. Impressive results when they could not get replicas made (think it was for an old Shelby charger of some sort) |
