Default Crack in Alloy

I'm a UK crossfire owner and have been a very happy one for nearly two years :-)

recently my rear nearside tyre is loosing about 1-2 psi per day. After checking the obvious things i took to a garage to check it out and it turns out that their is a small hairline crack in the alloy.

I spoke to my nearest Chryser main dealer who quoted £650 for a replacement 19" alloy.

after doing some of my own research on repair vs. new i just wanted to see what the opinion here was, as i had read a number of articles on reduced strength of the alloy after repair/welding etc.

I would really appreciate any input. on suggested courses of action, preferably ones that cost less than £650!

Many thanks,

Rob
