    Yes, gives me time to take care of this slow, bead leak I have in one of my summer wheels/tires.  I had the tire pulled off and found this:

                  The first place I took it to shot me a price of $200 to weld that crack, just to weld it, no refinishing of the area afterward.  I thought that price was SMOKING crack.  That looks like a 1 hour job at most to me.  I was thinking $75-$100, maybe only $50 if I did all the prep work.  Taking it to a local welding guy to look at today.

                    If you haven’t already gotten it fixed, my buddy would weld it for the price range you’re thinking of(I think). And that would be to gouge it, weld it, and grind it smooth. He is located in Eden, WI if you would be interested.

                      Oh sorry, it's done and the tire is back on and such, ended up being $50 to groove and tig weld.  Just waiting for the weather, glad I didn't put them on before last Wednesday.
