Yea, but even if I'm out of warranty, if it's a defect I'll get what I need from them somehow. Been taking her to the same dealer for over 3 years. They know me pretty well by now. Lol

Thanks for the advice. I'll be calling corporate if it comes down to that.

I doubt your dealer will shell out 600-700 for a wheel just to keep you happy

This may be true, but why wouldn't you try if it turns out to be some sort of manufacturer problem before readily shelling out $700 of your own. Either way, I like them to note these sort of issues and try to hold them accountable when warranted.

this seems very unlikely unless you hit a very big pothole, forged wheels dont break very easily

luckily, here in LA, you can find plenty of used oem rims for sale for a good price.

That's why I'm a little confused about the crack. Never hit a huge pothole *knock on wood*. Not sure what may have caused it to crack like this.

Never had to research wheels so good to know there are decent prices to be found. Thanks.

Kidding Only 2 people have driven my car and I've been with them each time. Someone else's negligence wouldn't be an issue.

Buick gave me two new wheels on my 12 GS. A rock hit them but I convinced them it was a paint flaw. I'd get that warrantied no problem.

Nice! In that respect, the entire 370Z is a paint flaw in my opinion. Paint is too soft.

So, dealer indicated it is just a deep scratch and with these wheels a scratch could appear more aggressive than an actual cracked wheel on another car model. The jagged edges worry me so I may get a second opinion just to be on the safe side. Not completely convinced with their assessment being my car hasn't run into any road debris or other, but at least I have it in writing and a little more peace of mind for now.

Not to soft, it's only 4.1 mil thick that includes the primer, paint, and clear. Jeeps have over 8 mil.

I zoomed in on my ipad. I was going to say its a scratch but wasn't 100% sure.

I wanna say that's a scratch as well - I feel like a crack would have a cleaner fracture?
