Do you think that this wheel can be fixed
This wheel was on the front of a miata, luckily not mine, that hit a
curb and appears to have suffered some damage. Do you think that it may be possible to fix this one? ;-) http://image.inkfrog.com/pix/pat/brokenwheel.jpg http://image.inkfrog.com/pix/pat/brokenwheel2.jpg Pat |

First, a liberal supply of JB Weld followed by duct tape, both inside and outside. It should be good as new. There may be some trouble with balancing, but miatas aren't that sensitive to wheel balance anyway. :-) Pat |

I wouldn't challenge Leon and hope to win on anything, except, finally after 5 years, a drag race between our two miatas, and I don't think either one of us is much interested in drag racing. My car should have just enough additional power to weight ratio to make up for the color handicap of racing a red car against a white one. Of course, I will need to turn the boost up to 15 for make certain of that. :-) Pat |

That was a joke, not a good one, but a joke. Don't worry, I'm not quitting my day job. :-) This is just the most wasted wheel that I have ever seen from any miata wreck and I thought some people might get a kick out of seeing the pictures, especially since it is so slow right now in this newsgroup.

He is probably out there right now on a street corner explaining things like thermal dynamics to strangers. (bring it on, Leon) :-) Pat |
