Can this be repaired?
Bought a wheel with tires on it and there was a crack on the inside. Anyone know if it can be repaired?

Yes, that can be repaired.
You'll get a mixed bag of answers as to whether or not you should.

What are your plans for use? Normal street driving? AutoX? Drag strip? Heavy track?
Like said it can be repaired but how long it will stay repaired depends on what you put it through. A lot of cracks there and those are just the ones you can see with the naked eye.

Daily driving and maybe1 track day per year. I called a reputable local store (union rim repair) and they said TIG welds were perfectly safe. They will warranty it for 6 months also.

If I were in your situation, I would not repair it.
