I recently got a set of porsche phone dials, and when I got them home I realized that one had a crack in it. Its fairly small, but I have never dealt with this kind of problem, so I don't know what's fixable. Its on the inner edge, and extends just under 1" into the barrel. I will try to get a picture up when I get home. Thanks.

My local wheel shop told me that they are allowed to weld wheels on the rim part, but that it's illegal to weld on the center. Sounds like you can get this welded up.
