That's no good having cracked wheels Wombat. There used to be some guys on here from Queensland. My memory is they used to talk about some wheel works in Brisbane that did Ural wheel repairs. Maybe they could help you. Possibly a search of this forum would come up with that information.

Is there a date stamp on the wheels?? There was a warranty based on a build date. It may have passed. What brand are they?? AUSTRAL WHEEL works were in Melbourne I think. But then I'm old, and live in the past a lot🤣

asw.com.au/These folks can do most anything with spoked wheels and are great to deal with. Moved two rims off centre from the hub for me (to give tyre clearance at the universal) and I’ve seen a new steel rim they put on another Ural….looked good! they even make their own spokes. In a few more weeks I’m taking up another wheel of mine (alloy) that has cracks at 7 spokes which I guess will need a new rim. I’m pretty sure all their replacement rims are steel, made in Japan and high quality. 😎

April 2012 was the recall group. Ural replaced one of my 2015's under warranty and the work was done by Ash's Spokes in Brisbane. Both my 2015's failed eventually, one of them after being checked and re-torqued by the experts! My SEP 2012 pusher is fine. Ash's were a great help, go and have a chat to them. When I was there (precovid) they had a bunch of rims that were 'discovered' to be cracked at the Adventure ride... He said that they hadsn't seen anything post 2016 but things might have changed.
