I have a cracked wheel that was repaired twice, does it weaken the wheel to the point where I should be thinking about a replacement? Im not sure if the wheel is oem or a replica but the garage said its written made in China. Are OEM made in china? Should I just buy one OEM rim next time it cracks?

My two rear tires are worned out, one is blowned. The front are still good, about 14/32 left if I understood right. Am I ok if I only replace the rear ones? My front are RFT Pirelli PZero, should I buy Pzero Silver, Nero or PSS for the rear tires?

Im running on 19" 255/30/R19 on a 335i sports.

Dont repair the wheel, it douse not matter how reputable a wheel repair shop may be, but a single cast wheel can not safely be repaired. usually if theirs a crack lets say barrel and you repair it, it will only take a few days before it cracks again about 1 inch apart from the first crack, ones you repair that crack it will repeat all over again. i would only recommend wheel repairs for cosmetics like curve rash etc. the risk is simply to high

Thanks for confirming my worries, I'll just buy another one. I'll buy an OEM to replace it, but Im not sure if the set is oem or replicas. Does it matter?
I bougth 2 rear non rft, the front are rft, does it matter?

lol @ 14/32nds. Just get a new wheel at this point though...

I found out yesterday that my front right wheel is cracked. It's a 193M 18x8. Is repairing this type of damage what you are talking about? I should consider this wheel trashed? There is no cosmetic damage.

^That crack will only get worse with time. You could try to repair it by having it welded, but it's probably going to crack around the same area again.
