Hi, I have a e92 with staggers setup, today I went to replace my 255/30 r19 rear tire with a brand new Michelins as pilot sport 4 and I was told & shown I have 2 cracks on the inner wall of the wheel. I have not experienced any air leaks, but the service men insisted I get a new rim. Should I get a new rim which is 500$ or can I fix it ? I was quoted 140$ to fix it

I'd get new rim considering there are 2 cracks. It's a safety risk if the wheel fails. No guarantee repair will be as strong as the new rim.

The ideal fix is to replace the wheel but there are skilled shops that can weld it. The downside is the wheel may crack again and the damage may be serious. I would also look into a 35 profile tire.
