I have a set of 4 of these wheels. I don’t know how to tell if they are crestline or ET wheels. One has a cracked lip. How can it be repaired? Is there any recommendations for the repair work?

from the size of the lip, and the offset/backspace, I am guessing Cal-Parts... It's aluminum, so a heli-arc with a "V" in the crack, should be the way to fix
