Took my car to get aligned and have new tires put on today. Everything went great untill they took off the rear wheel and my m-par has a 3 inch crack right at the lip on the back side. They would not put a tire on it so I am riding on my spare.

Where is the best place to look for a single replacement?

take it to a professional wheel re-finisher... they can repair it..

Any idea what caused it? Was it OE or aftermarket. Try E-Bay or one of the BMW suppilers.

I have no idea how or when it happened.

This was the first time I had the rear wheels off since I bought the car.

There is a good wheel shop here where I live so I am gonna take out there first and see if they can fix it.

Try Scuba Steve on eBay. He often has them. I don't see it listed now but it is worth to ask. Pricing may be close to repair+refinish.

Found a shop locally that fixed it today fo $80. Better than buying a new one!
