If you're talking about repairing cracks in the original wheel yourself, PC-7 epoxy works well. They have a short description on their website: http://www.pcepoxy.com/blog/can-you-...x-yes-you-can/ You still have to repaint the wheel afterwards but it holds up well, I did a steering wheel in my pickup 15 years ago and it still looks good.

You should be able to find PC-7 at your local hardware store, I think Ace hardware carries it.

Done more than a few. Patience. Also refined my technique to using a lightweight solder gun and fusing plastic into the cracks and using the PC7 as a final filler only.
You must use plastic from another wheel however.
