I wanted to get the original Ronal wheel so I bought a used wheel from a Salvage yard.

Question Re: Want to but front wheel - found crack in front wheel

Is cracking somewhat common on n/a front wheels? Theories on why?

I suspect too much pressure was put on wheel during tire changing as there were multiple gouges inside the wheel rim car was purchased with new tires. Crack did not leak as the tire bead sealed it from the inside
