Panel bond will fix the crack if carefully done...as far as the chrome the eastwood company has a kit that allows you to brush on chrome..
There is also a company in pickering ontario that does chrome though paint an you can not tell its paint...a friend had his jag bumpers done an when put beside real chrome there's no noticeable difference.
ok thanks. Just wanted to get some opinions from people on what they've used.
PS - Bob - I noticed your ad - I guess I get what I paid for. lol Your wheel would be awesome but still outta my price range. lol hopefully the replacement doesn't crack on me!
Nickeleye.. My apologies for an attempt at humour but if your wheel was made by Vintique they are famous for cracking. The other ones do as well. I believe Limeworks makes the least cracking one. As far as repairs JB Weld does work. Maybe someone else has a better product. I have repaired both a 50 Crestliner and a 50 merc. Sport accessory wheel and it can be a lot of work. Do Not use Por 15 epoxy even tho they advertise it for steering wheel repair. Bob
I'm not sure the mfg of this wheel to be honest. But I'm assumed by the quick replacement from Southern Rods that it was a common issue. Seemed pretty routine when I contacted them. Thanks for the headsup about POR15.

Now that you have the replacement wheel, I would be more concerned about it cracking next winter. If this is only used on a summer driver, I would consider removing the wheel and storing it inside for the winter. Maybe Southern Rods indicates they haven't been tested for northern rods.
Good luck
