By the way, it is is an authentic 5zigen wheel. My buddy has the same rims and they are identical in every way, plus i got the centercaps for them on each. I bought them off an I-club member CRPWRX and his stuff has been legit, he's a cool cat so I highly doubt he'd screw me over.
Now i'm debating on some 18"s while i'm at it.... anyone up for a trade? Shoot me offers. Some wheels have slight curbage... i'll take pics soon. I wouldn't be trading giving you the cracked one either, i'd have that replaced.
Since these are the only set of wheels of tires i have, i'd trade for 18"s with tires in good condition as these tires are barely used.
EDIT:
Here's the specs (4) 5zigen FN01R-C: 17x8 +48 with Barely used Nexen N3000 in 255/40/17

Not too sure. I just grabbed those specs from the previous seller and i'm not too familiar with the offset's and all that info, but pretty much, i'd like it around the same. My stance with those right now is perfect, the wheels are wide and i like the look of it so preferably about the same, but just in 18"s.
As far as cash on top? Depends on what people come back with. I'm open to anything. If it's already in black, even better. Like I said though, my options are open.

I knew someone who had cracked a spoke on a rota, they said they were just driving through the hills on a spirited run with a friend. The next day they noticed one spoke was cracked and we replaced the wheel that day. We just figured it broke from stress and was thankful was cheap to replace. I would say just replace the wheel to be on the safe side.
Rota stonewalls, doesn't return emails, doesn't answer phone calls, and generally doesn't care about some customers. I had a customer with a Rota wheel that developed a crack which led to the air leaking out. I spent 9 months trying to get him either a new one or some resolution - Rota USA simply ignored the problem until the customer finally gave up and bought a new set of wheels.

We got a hold of them on aim and just drove there and bought a new wheel. We weren't trying to get it replaced for free or anything cus the wheel was a few years old. I can't see it taking that long to reach them. I live pretty close so I just drove there after we found out they had wheel in stock. The guys at wheeldude / subydude all have been nice and are a good bunch of guys.

Here's the link to the ad in the classifieds for anyone who is interested in trading.

Again... you WOULD NOT get the cracked rim. You'd get a brand new one.
