Cracked wheel

F!!!! Just found out my "slow leak" was really a cracked wheel. Anyone know the cheapest place I can get a replacement 18x8 OZ Superleggera in light grey (anthracite). Thanks.

I know America's Tire Co can get them... though some OZ Superleggera sizes can only be purchased through tire rack.

How bad is the crack, some companies fix wheels...

well, my experience with cracked wheels is that if it's still under warranty it should be replaced good luck tho!

IMO, it's not really wise to have a cracked wheel repaired.....bent or curbed wheel....okay, but i wouldn't feel safe rolling on a structurally damaged wheel.

plus, Superleggeras are inexpensive enough to just replace anyways.
