That's Bad News Bears.
And also why I'm not sure about putting big wheels on my box. I'm near pittsburgh where the streets are littered with potholes.

You should've joined the 17" club my friend. But seriously, I would not repair that wheel if I had a choice. If they still make that rim, and it's easily accessible, buy a new one and replace it.
