some cracking on my rims

Hi, today I put my coupe on the service to have its rims to be painted but I realized one of the front rims has been cracked a couple of times at different sections. My service man said that it's not healty repairing this crackings because it will be cracking again if I drive on the bad roads. He says its generally occurs on the cars with run flats. Run flat tires are so tough so when you drop or hit a deep a hole its easily cracking.

So I'm looking for a new rim and the others will remain.

I would consider repairing it. Plenty of good wheel shops that should be able to get it back to normal. Problem is for the cost of repair, often times u can snag a rim for same price or cheaper on eBay.

unfortunately I can not buy rims from ebay because of custom problems. In my country there are only licensed sellers they give a price about €3000 for all rims. So I'm gonna try to find only one but if its not I will have to buy four

as for repairing its nor safety in my country roads
