Looking for Advice: LOMA Stream GT 2‑Piece Forged Wheels — Micro‑Crack Repair or Sell
Hey guys, looking for some input from people who know forged wheels better than I do. I’ve got a set of LOMA Stream GT 2‑piece forged wheels, sizes 19×11 front and 20×13 rear. These were around $7k new, and they’re pretty rare in these widths.
Cosmetically, the wheels are in good shape. Faces and barrels look clean, and the center caps are intact.
The only issue: One of the fronts has a couple of micro‑holes over about a 2-inch section on the inner lip, causing a slow leak. No deformation, no structural damage to the face or barrel. Just a small inner‑lip crack that a proper forged wheel shop should be able to repair.
I’m trying to figure out the smartest move:
Repair the crack and then sell
Sell as‑is (micro-crack disclosed) and let the buyer handle the repair
Or something else I’m not thinking of
I already have new wheels on my car, so I don’t need these — just want to get a fair value and move them along to someone that can use them.
Thanks for the comment. These wheels are around 11 or 12 years old. I'm the second owner. The damage happened back during Covid so when I called the manufacturer to get another made, they said no. Also tried back then to see if someone would TIG weld then. Everyone was busy or didn't want to touch it. I ended up having another set of aftermarket rims made so I could get the car back on the road. These rims were sitting in my shop on the tire rack for the last 5 years. Thought it was time to get these moving again so someone could use them.
