hahah despite how bad that is i've actually had worse. i hit a pot hole and put a good 4 in crack along the inside lip of the rim and where the spokes meet. it still held air amazingly and me being the poor idiot 17 year old i was drove with a 4in crack in the wheel for a good 2 years. get the trusty ol bfh out, run a weld and rock on!

looks like a good excuse for a whole new set of rims to me!

the salad shooters are ugly anyway, IMO.....not as bad as the base firebird wheels of that same era, but ugly, nonetheless.

Actually..update it IS repairable... originally the wheel shop we took it to wanted almost $250 to fix it...then they looked at it again and said it was not repairable.

My friend found the place they contract their wheel repair work out to, and he said he would do it for $50.

And why does everyone keep saying these rims are salad shooters? the spokes look nothing like it.... they are 19" HP Racing rims. Amazing..haha
