Cracked AG m359

I cracked my rim and I need some advice. Is this repairable and if so is it even worth it? There is very little vibration at high speeds. I don't want it to crack again after I get it repaired. thanks in advanced.

The purpose of cheap cast wheels like these is to replace them when they are damaged, I would fix a wheel that had a slight bend on the inside, but never a cracked wheel.

I don't even know how your tire holds air.

Very repairable.
Inner lip cracks are easy fix.
Barrel splits are the ones to stay away from

Agreed.

Our cars are heavy. It doesn't matter how strong the wheel is, when you run 19"+ and a shorter tire, bends/cracks can still happen.

I have M359's as well in 18" and have a cracked wheel and hub damage on another one. I just bought a new set of wheels. Going to try to sell this set for whatever I can. I would probably buy a new wheel but that's just me because I don't know is that wheel fixed will ever be as strong as a new wheel.

It can be repaired. Personally I would by a replacement for peace of mind but as long as its a reputable wheel shop they shouldn't have a problem fixing it up for you

I got quoted about $200 to fix this wheel. I might just buy a new one. Does anyone know of any places that buy old or damaged wheels?

Keep looking. Most shops around here only charge half that to fix wheels in similar shape.

Just repair it. I had similar damage on a V MR wheel. After the repair I put about 30k miles on it over 15 months with no issues.
