I've gotten multiple answers on whether or not I should trust this repair--anyone in the know on this?

Friend who works at a tire shop says it's illegal in Illinois to sell a welded alloy wheel, but another friend says as long as it's done professionally it's okay.Comment

I have had it done before and it wasn't a problem. Some rims I bought had a split on the edge probably like what you had. They welded it up and smoothed the lip out so it didn't leak."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

Depends. Did they open up the crack first before they welded or is it just a surface weld? A lot of places just do a surface weld and they re-crack.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

Update: Turns out it was professionally repaired by Wheels Of America and they said there's not an issue--that if they repaired it, it's was deemed all good. Went to have tires mounted on them yesterday at another store (my friend's store is too far from me now) and they said they can't do it for liability reasons. Heading out to a Firestone shop that said no problem, so we'll see...Comment

Firestone installer said it appears to be a well done repair, swapped my tires from the Style 5's to the RD's and balanced for $59.97.
Love the classic period look of them on my E34 Touring!
