Are you talking about the dealers assessment or a second opinion?
I've only had the dealer assess.

Maybe because some Euro cars use magnesium alloy wheels which is super light weight but not as durable as aluminum. My magnesium BMW wheels are so light they practically float away once the tires are removed.

In metal they sure are. Unless like above the crack starts inward and works its way out to an edge where the crack likes to split open like it was under pressure and its being forced open. Also metal cracks are straight. This thing heads down, turns sideways, then turns back down.
