The magnesium Fly's were notorious for cracking .
I had several sets in the '70s that cracked when they were only 4-5 years old ,not 40 + years old ...... regardless of reparability, I would NEVER use the wheel for anything but a show car or a display .
If you Zyglow the wheel you will undoubtedly find more cracks that haven't opened up yet.
