Cracked an NT03!? Do you know how it happened? Is that paint of powdercoat? If the latter I wonder if that had any affect on the strength of the wheel?

what size tires did you have when this happened? I'm assuming these are 17 as I don't see dish and how many miles?

Regardless of how this happened it should not stop you from buying a set of these wheels. While I may be bias given the fact that I have a set NT03's are known to strong and of quality. Just because this one cracked doesnt mean they're junk. For all you know another wheel put in the same environment could have shattered

thanks for the input, as far as how it happened i have no idea. got them from a buddy trying to help him out since he cant afford to fix or replace them. they are 18s +40 with 255/35/18 tires. it looks like i got the lower end of the deal, i really like the way they look on the car.

You need a new wheel and I think in some places* its illegal to weld on broken wheels.

For safety reasons I would just get a new one instead of repairing them.
