RIGHT had stress crack, but LEFT was replaced? Lol? Good to hear that all was taken care of. But just double, triple, check they replaced the right one

Haha yes I checked. I can only assume that it was a typo or they view it from the front of the car.

I just found this after wondering why my front 2017 2SS Fifty wheel was going flat overnight:

This same wheel (passenger front) did hit a pothole really hard a few years ago. It eventually bubbled the front tire and I think I remember the guy that mounted them telling me they were ok and weren't bent if I remember, but I just got a new tire and never thought about it again until now.

With that said the crack definitely doesn't look like it was due to a pothole, and does look like a manufacturing defect.

Yea, I lost one like that late last year too. Mine originated on the barrel of the wheel just inside the lip, and you could see that there was something funny in the casting. I went and picked up a "Refurbished" wheel from a place by me called Schraam's Automotive. I was shocked to see how scarce the wheels were without buying new. The Belle Tire by me couldn't even find a used one.
