I found one on Ebay, but thought I'd check here first.
My local garage told me that he has found quite a few cracked Audi wheels.

Don't know - and I'm the only driver...
The crack is about 3cm long extending from the inside edge - the least supported part of the wheel. There are a lots of potholes in the Northeast state right now due to the weather, but I don't recall hitting anything too severe.
Maybe metal fatigue combined with a pothole. Tis a bit of a mystery. I didn't notice the crack when I cleaned them last spring. Only found out about it because I started losing air a week ago.
