<div>Bill ... Thank you for the link. I will check that source for a replacement wheel.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Jack ... I do not autocross or race, although I did have the car on track at VIR and Put-In-Bay this past summer for some fun laps. 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.</div>

<div>Fellow-Listers,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Having recently discovered a microscopic hairline crack in one of my American Libre wheels, which are shown in the attached photo, I now have the following choices to make:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I either sell the three reaming wheels (with the cracked one thrown in free) or I find someone with these same wheels who might be willing to sell one or two.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any interested parties to either scenario?</div>
