I recently made a 600 mile round trip and the morning of the drive back I noticed one tire was 4-5 psi low, I refilled it and hit the road without any pressure loss all the way home. Took it to my tire shop Monday and they couldn't find anything wrong at the time. I drove it very lightly the next few days but by Thursday the tire hit 22 psi so I took it back in. They called me in about a half hour with the result of a cracked and not repairable wheel. Apparently they called the local Infiniti dealer and the out the door quote was $1,463. I hit ebay and found a refinished wheel for $425 and a vendor that would ship same day.
What are your thoughts, do you think this is repairable? The ebay shop gave me a return label if it can't be fixed, but I'd fix this one if it meant I could have a spare handy.
Otherwise, car has 112k and is mechanically great. I did a full detail on it recently and am trying to figure out if it's worth it to respray the front bumper and side skirts due to rock chips. The car doesn't have wheel skirts so the rear lower door panels are pretty rough.
New wheel - pretty close match except the hyper silver has dulled over the years.
