If there's only one crack, why not do it yourself. I've had good success using 3M 8115 epoxy to fill and bond the cracks after cleanup with a file or sandpaper. You can dye the final layer to match the color of the wheel. I've done several '64 wood wheels as described with decent results. One had cracks 1/8" wide.

It would be helpful if we had a method of restoring the woodgrain texture. Most of the '65 and newer "wood wheels" are completely smooth with no texture and don't look at all like wood. Any ideas?
