Yeah, cayenne. Not willing to spend any dime as long as I am not driving 3 wheels.

If you're not losing air, it shouldn't be a concern.
But one more incident with a curb, that could be it.

I'd say yes.

Plus I'd take away the keys from whoever drives that car because it looks like they crash into the curb (kerb?) a lot.

If you can't locate a matching rim cheap, there are places that repair and restore alloy rims.

I agree with the previous poster. That rim is dangerously cracked. A pot hole can easily empty all of the air from that wheel. I wouldn't drive my kids around in that car.

if you have money issues - see if you have a fullsize oem rim on the spare and swap
