Has in knackered the rim? If it’s just a crack where the rim is welded onto the centre dish, find both ends of the crack drill a hole clean the crack out and weld up! Should keep you going till Tuesday when you will be able to get a rim from bateman.

I would weld both sides of the rim then clan the weld back to internally to a smooth rim. Could even stick a tube in the tyre after you’ve welded I. To get you through!

Blown the rim to bits . 3 inch out in one place crack is third the way round it ! Went with a band

No Probs! We have a spare (one that the crack has been welded up on) but you’d be quicker to drive to Devon!

I had one split on road suddenly last August which was a scare, tyre came off rim before I could stop . Came out 2 weeks ago to find 75% flat tyre on another wheel,pumped up and started spraying. Couple hours later went to tyre firm,soap and water showed a leak from wheel centre weld to rim so went to Bateman for new rim, not worth risk
