that sucks dude, I'm sorry. I think you should keep the 35th-style wheels though. They look great and you don't see them very often.

Yeah hopefully this one can be repaired. It's scarred up pretty good on the inside of the wheel

Curious though what caused all those splits on the sidewall of the tire. The crack in the wheel had nothing to do with that.

The shop who discovered the cracks in the wheel for me said that the tire was at 19psi and that running low pressure would cause premature sidewall failure.

Yes, that could do it. At 19 psi, you shoulda noticed the tire squat. Give your car a once-over when standing around at the gas station.
