Cracked Rim
My tire has been leaking this week, so I took it in to find the leak. It turns out that I have a crack on the inside of my rim (the drum area). The crack is about 1/2 inch long. Anyone have any recommendation for places around Atlanta to get it fixed? So far I have found Metro Wheels and Wheel Wizard.
Also anyone know of a good junk yard that might have a used C5 5 spoke polished rim for the front?

You could try this place (last time I was there, they had tons of Corvettes stacked in their backyard graveyard):

When my left rear cracked in May 2005, I bought a new wheel from Fred Beans GM parts for $393 with shipping.

I had the same problem. I filed a complaint with GM. It seems to be a widespread problem. I bought C-6 wheels instead. I still have the C-5's in my Garage. I am driving to Atlanta on Sunday the 6th, If you are still in need of wheels.
