How long did you wait before you started sanding it down cause I have it on right now and I started around 6 or 5 ish and it’s about 11 now
I waited until it was fully cured, 15 hours. It was easier to smooth it on with my finger and skip sanding. If you have to sand it use a rougher grit like 80 or less
So I wait 15 hours instead so it can cure then sand it down, cause I put a pretty good amount on it or wait like 3 more hours then sand it down
@@joedirt2768 I would wait at least for it to be fully cured. Between 15 total hours and 24. If not it wont sand properly. It'll crumble and leave pits
@@joedirt2768 how did it turn out?
@BallOnEm PBS I got about a month out them the first and second time
Hey question how's the rims doing so far since you fixed it im trying to fix my rims myself
This was an awesome video. I especially like the way you took us to each step of the process...
I can’t wait to try this out good looking out 😀
Wow bro as I was looking at your car,I knew it was something diffrent,,,,very nice ride,as for me I have a bmw 650i,,yea my car is nice as well I love it,,,I like different than other's,,,,I see the beauty in the cars
I tried it it worked, I used jb steel first to push it down inside the crack just kept pushing until I got a build up . Sand it down then came back with jb liquid like he had left it smooth finished no sanding. The wheel I fixed held up then another wheel cracked I told him to find a set of wheels. I'd rather have one flat on side the road than two.
Thanks bro for the great content I’m gone do it this weekend when I have time off from work
💯 Let me know howbot turns out 👍🏾
@@cashhacks3792 I surely will do that
Sorry for the late reply but it really worked thanks once again for the info! Stay prayed up and blessed brother! 💯
I'm happy it worked for you, bless up 🙌🏾
@@johnsonmansr77justamessenger_ been 6 months still good?
I was gonna say “ time for new rims bro damn!!” ....but I seen at the end it was a Porsche 😫 🤦🏽♂️ 💰...... F*** THAT!! 😂...yeah definitely good effort and move to fix it yourself.. hope she holding up for you! 💪🏽... subscribed!!
love the hard work dude NICCCE
Great video!
It was a fun little experiment but you gotta weld that otherwise it's going to cost you more in the long run wrecking your tires after it cracks again.
A mí me soldaron una grieta y a los 3 años la soldadura con maquina se volvió abrir
Thank you.
Any updates on the repairs?
Nice video 👍
are the wheels aluminum? should try the hobart aluminum rods after drilling then heating the area to 800F with a torch.
Good shit!
Hello, did it crack after a while? what do you think about thé product thanks for the update
The longest lasting repair was 33 consecutive days for 3 main reasons.
1. After removing the tire and cleaning the cracks to bare metal I filled the crack with JB Weld.
2. Smoothing it over (not sanding) leaving the most material and letting it fully cure.
3. Adding silicone at the tire shop.
I would repeat this process if I had cracked a rim for the first time ir needed some time before replacing a previously cracked rim like in this case.
I think in my opinion, if you grind out the Crack to make a tunnel, Instead of just overlaying it on the existing Crack. In other words drill and grind out the Crack completely and then add JB weld to the rim, smooth it into the valley you've ground out, leaving some residual to sand out and smooth it. If I Crack my rim, I'll try that technique. Thanks for sharing! 👍
So would you say this jb weld is good for a month or 2 max ? Thanks
I would agree with that. I did have some tries that lasted shorter but I was experimenting with different ideas (with vs without silicone, sanding vs smoothing on the jb weld, etc)
I have the same wheels on my Benz. Where did you buy the new wheels at?
Directly from Niche
I promise you the J-B Weld is not going to hold I'm a welder and I can assure you all the new cracks are from welding the rim improperly I'm going through the same situation right now
That's the next best thing you can do 👍🏾 besides replacing them
Yo does it last long with that bond I really messed my my rim wanna try so
@itsgyaltsen07 The longest I got was a month each time. With a lowered, stiff suspension, low profile tires on 22" Chinese aluminum rims, driving thru Miami construction zones every day 🤣 I'd say thats pretty decent 🤷🏾♂️
Que tal te fue con la reparación duró?
Did this last or did the jb weld give in..if so how long did it last
It lasted a while I have a few more update videos on it. I had the shop put silicone on one of the wheels, that's the one that lasts the longest
Geez that Tim had a lot of cracks
I'm about to attempt something similar. Crack is about an inch long on the inside. I'm going to bead it up though and let it set up for a couple days then sand it, clean it, clean it again and then paint that spot. I'll let you know, lol. And please tell me I didnt see cinder blocks under your car
😅
You never let us know how it went 🤔
Como te fue?
After u weld the rim is the rim going be normal again or will is crack again n how does is last After u weld and will is hold air again??
I forget exactly how long it lasted. There're more videos in the series that track that. Its not a permanent fix though.
Why do so many TH-cam videos play background music so loud can’t even pay attention to the video. Good info but lower the music.
😂😂😂
😂😂😂 this guy worry about the music in the background 😅😅
Idk. Its a curse 😂
Cause that's just how he feel 🤷♂️ ooooooOhhhhhohh
I used this jb weld for my aluminum rim
How is it holding up
How is it holding up?
It was good for a month or two. I've since sold the car
Que tal fue esa reparación? Duró?
please please please just make a permanent weld. ive done this and J.B. just pulled apart. sometimes this can hold for a wheel that isn't under a lot of pressure but as son as you hit anything that causes a large impact froce it WILL break apart. I race motocross and I know balance and wheel size aren't the same as a car but in the long run fixing soething permanently is always better. J.B. has helpre me at times to just consider your goal!
I like the songs 💪🏻😬
"Use ear and eye protection.", "When you're sanding stuff, you want to protect your lungs--you always want to wear a mask."--nice touch.
At least just the rim in made in China my escooter rim cracked and bent in the front I have to try to repair it myself unfortunately it won't fix the fact the whole scooter is made in chine haha 😂 thanks for this video I will be trying to drill and fix it someone suggested radiator weld putty but I am going to use jb weld as long as the crack stops spreading
🤣 Whatever works 👍🏾
@@cashhacks3792 I cleaned the surface and sanded it and cleaned it again but the jn weld isn't curing right when I sand it after it dries a huge piece cracked off like it isn't adhering to the rim itself the jbweld was hard all way through though I waited 24 hours
Was this project just a temporary fixed? It seems like a lot of work for a temporary fix!
It was a temporary fix. The rear one lasted about a month before it needed more. In the end we bought 2 new rims for $700
@@cashhacks3792 several weeks ago I also tried this on a couple of rims and the same thing happened to me. Started leaking air after a couple of weeks. I watched your video and I thought maybe i didn't do it right right the first time. I guess I won't try it again. Thanks for the video. Good try
@@33elmore did they put silicone to help seal it at the tire shop?
#CashHacks, Honestly I don’t know if they did. Most likely they did not.
I fixed my crack with JB, lasted two weeks. If you hit a pot hole on the spot the crack will shift and ruin the repair
Unbelievable that will last till you get out to tyre shop 🤪and running on 22s
🤣
But will this survive a Nebraska winter
It'll survive a Miami winter 👍🏾😉
@@cashhacks3792 I'm probably not going to risk it. Glad this works in the south though.
@@joeybaren4105 good choice 👍🏾
It might just be best to buy more rims I know there expensive but u wouldent have to worry about caging a flat
That's the best thing to do. I had to wait for the rims to ship so I didnt have much choice.
A new wheel will crack again.
That’s funny bro I have the same car and my second set of rims I crack I’m planning to get 20”s better
🤣 don't do it!
Maybe an XL rated tire will handle the bumps better
Where did you take the wheels to getting welded?
Removed the tire at the tire shop, jb weld in the back yard, tire shop to replace the tire 👍🏾
Allegedly the marine jb weld is supposed to best for aluminium though I’m not sure personally the rating is a little lower
🤔
Nice repair dude ! Are they still lasting after 5 days ?
Thanks! The rear is lasting a month+ so far. The front had some issues. Updates coming soon
@@cashhacks3792 i only have one crack, what do u think ? putting it front or back ?
@@diegobonnares9442 both
So hows it going untill now? Any problems?
@@HI-fn7mk I posted update videos from a week later up to replacing the rims 2 months later
So many things wrong with doing this. Also, the paint thinner you used leaves an oily residue- the only acceptable chemicals would be brake clean or the best would be to use Acetone. As a welder, I can properly weld those fairly quickly, and for a very reasonable amount of money. Not all fabrication shops charge insane money for aluminum rim repair.
Good to know. Thanks 👍🏾
Excuse me but did you say, "spreading the crack"? 😂
Maybe 😏
If you have the means to remove the tire you should weld
So much hate for a jb weld video. Its his rims gesssh. Where is all this negativity coming from. 🤔
This is not safe. You ended up replacing them anyway. You could have saved so much if you did it right to begin with.
You're right! The best and safest thing to do is replace the rims, if you have the money and another car to drive while you're waiting on the new rims to arrive 👍🏾
Straight up liability. Hard to believe wheel repair being treated so flippantly.
You take a wheel to most shops and they repair it similarly. Never underestimate what you can do at home. Everything isn’t rocket science.
@@adonaimorales3560 Son... I don't know where you are getting wheel repairs done... but dollar store epoxy is not the solution. Grinding a crack out and welding it is not rocket science. Those cheap over sized rims flex a lot. Hopefully they fail slowly... but a rapid failure could get somebody seriously hurt.
@@ShainAndrews did a similar repair on my wheels and have 60k+ miles on them. Haven’t had a problem since. And I’m not your son so keep your condescending terms of endearment minimal.
So is a person leaving the bar drunk af😂😂😂😂
Stumbled across this video while surfing for repair vids. Made it 15 minutes through and had to stop. There is no way this kind of repair held up. When it cracked during tire installation, it should have been obvious that the steps taken skipped a vital one. Professionals would have created space in the crack for the new material, merely pasting JB weld over a crack and sanding most of the JB weld away to smooth it out made the entire process a waste of time. I see an update video in the side bar, let's see if any lessons were learned.
What’s with all the music ?
That's what happens when u ride with a flat u bring me that wheel I'm gonna say it's a new crack bc u rode on a flat it looks like for 400 miles
Yeah, it blew out on the highway 😅
What's the cause thou? Bad quality rims or bad driving? That's alot of cracks I would of just gave up the rims
BOTH. They were doing alot of construction in my area and the rims were super cheap. Plus snow was driving it daily) 🤣 Bad combo
A candle will work too
Just do it right the first time and get it welded.
Either that or replace it 👍🏾
Made in China and only 4 cracks ?
That's Porsche Panamera rite
Yep, 2011
@@cashhacks3792 can u tell me with wat material he welded ur rims can u ask him really wanna know that I got same problem here help me man 🙏
@@itsgyaltsen the rims are aluminium. He used aluminum rods to weld them the first time
@@cashhacks3792 thanks
Don't use jb weld please
Use aluminum arch elctrode
Are they Reebok or Nike...Or nike..oooh yeah
What a banger of a song (my version of it is better though lolz)
Yeah u prolly sanded it to much and the layer was to thin to hold up on that first fix, just my opinion I'm no expert lol
True. Your right 😅
It might hold air but you have lost all the strength in that wheel. It’s a time bomb that could cost you, your family or somebody else their lives. Don’t gamble with safety. ☠️☠️☠️
Covid was a tough time to order wheels. We got new ones in the last video of the series
No disrespect. a wheel with that many cracks in it especially with such low profile tyres , the strength is going to be seriously compromised. Bite the bullet and get new set of rims.
Real problem made in China 😂😂😂
Did the person who cant afford new rims or a tow (thats how the tire got cut in a perfect circle, he rode it to death) say China was the problem. Lmao! Let me explain something to all of y’all about the infamous Hecho En China. The Chinese build to the specs the manufacturer request. The problem isnt that its made in China, the problem is capitalism. Also note, this is about equal to using a grinder to retread your tires. Have fun
I run those cheap ass Delente as drift burners. On a Porsche tho? Working in the street? DIY w/ JB weld tho? Chinese rims too? sheeeesh... that car dont deserve that.
Truly. I got the car with those on it. Def a shame 😅 gotta work with what you got sometimes lol
jb weld ,,, and a car on breeze blocks ,,, is it April 1st , or is this guy serious.
🤣 dead
The problem is you and your driving. You probably should stop using that size wheels and low pro tires since you cant seem to stay away from potholes.
FOR REAL 🤣🤣🤣
I drive everyday and sometimes daily commuting makes you miss at least 3 out of 100 potholes and sometimes it happens even when going slow 😂 I cracked 2 of my 18 inch rims by going 15 Miles
Gahhhhh this video takes soooo long. 😒
If you don't drink Henny just one time, you can weld that rim and ride on highway at 80mph with piece of mind. Now every time you see a bump, you will worry about breaking the rim again.
do not use any autozone products to fix your rims, get it properly welded somewhere.
this is a cheap poor man fix and it will get messed up again. you can tell how he drives by looking at his rims tons of cracks from speeding and hitting potholes. he needs new rims those are ugly and brutally abused.
You're 100% right 😆. They were doing alot of road construction in my area at that time. I did get new rims about 2 months later when they finally arrived at the wheel shop but the JB Weld got me thru until the new ones came in 😜
got to be fucking nuts to use jb weld to repair cracked wheel rims..... its out and out illegal to repair using stuff like that on wheels. you have lost all the strength in the wheels........ i would not use that on a pushbike wheel.
Me either lol
I charge the customer if they bring rims in with this garbage on them. It doesn't work and sucks to clean ao that the proper repair can be made.
them wheels belong in the trash not on your car.
Buy new rim stop fuck with it
Dude it's time for ya to buy some new used rims... repaired and cracked again over And over ...? I'm not sure what someone's life is worth man...but yeah open a cash fund me ...get some donations etc...just saying
Good effort but Man!! It's time for new wheels. That car is heavy. Get thicker tires. How much to weld it prosesionally?
Welding would be more than replacing. Eventually i did replace them but shipping post covid was crazy lol.
