Well, when you take your first hard corner and the tire butt's up against that lip, we'll find out if they are really fixed! Looks good though.

Seems scary to me, but it is just metal. Most often metal with the right skill and tools can always be repaired. I am amazed it was worth it but I guess if you are good at what you do, you can do it fairly cheap.

Problem with welding Aluminum is it disipates the heat so quickly it's hard to weld. Friend of mine who widened some rims himself stuck the rims in the oven for an hour at 450 degree's to get them ready for welding!!!
