[Spridgets] 13x5 American Libre Alloy Wheels

Is the wheel magnesium or aluminum. If it’s aluminum it’s easy to fix. I do it every day at my shop.

Oddly around the same time I was trying to find a set a guy in 2008 had all 4 in boxes with caps sealed and I was too cheep to give him the 1K he wanted for them. What a loss as they were never used ever and I couldn't find him a few years later.

I purchased these wheels used about 15 years ago, and I have no way of knowing their history. I discovered the hairline crack while I was cleaning the inside of the wheels at a time when they were off the car for other reasons. The crack is located in one of the four main spokes, close to the hub. It is visible on both the inside and outside of the spoke. I will send you a couple of photo's if I am able to capture the crack with my cell phone camera.
