    Ok so things get worse, found a rim in uk and ordered it (2nd hand), went to replace 2 front tires and one rim is 7.5inch and the other 8 inch.

    I only just got this car, it had 190pt ferrari check, i dont feel i should be responsible for the cracked rim and one wrong size? The tire size is debatable, i think that the previous owner hit something, broke the front rim, got one not knowing there is 2 different sizes, the rear once must also have been damaged but held air so they left it, nothing else can really explain it???

    Im so upset as i now need to source 1 front rim either 7.5 or 8 inch

    I suppose that you are dead set against having it TIG welded and repaired?

    I think OP found the rim he was looking for at the place i mentioned above but now he found out that the other side is a different size .. the SCUD lookalike for a f430
    So he had and has two different rims - if he would have known before he would have Bot a rim to match the other side and not replaced the current one

    If I was OP .. I would just sell one of the front on ebay and get another to match

    Are the wheels no longer available new from Ferrari? I bought my Scud used in 2015 with a small ding in the rim (disclosed before purchase) and bought a new rim from my local dealer and have the old one as a spare. I need to get it fixed one of these days.

    I now have a 2nd cracked rim on my F430. Apprx 1/2 inch long on inside rim to edge of rim. Tire does flat in about a day. Pothole caused last cracked rim and I bought a new one. Any opinions on the safety and savings of having this one repaired? Some have insisted to me to never go the repair route.
