I probably wouldn't mind so much, except they are 9 x 18.

Front 2 are ET 20 (cracked one is front), rear ET 25's. (really needed all ET 20)

Probably had a fair chance of finding an odd 8 x 18!!!

So many people seem to have problem with these wheels, remember seeing Sticker Paul with all his head aches.

Would a professional company be able to sort them?

Somewhere like Ian Jemmison engineering perhaps Kev? Have you tried emailing the pics to any of those sort of places?

you can get them v welded but go over a few big potholes or bumps and they'll end up cracking again.
I Had the same problem with Momo sports

Yes they can be welded but will never be as strong as an uncracked wheel. Plus it will always be in the back of your mind that it could well go again!
