I have not physically seen the rim yet, this was what the shop has told me.

I want to ensure I post the correct info.

So far, the reseller SDTW is saying that they are trying to locate another rim for me, as they do not want to break up a set.

Alternatively I can send in the rim so they can look at it for 1 year warranty replacement.

Gotcha. Any idea what caused it? And was the shop just doing an inspection on your wheels when they found the crack(s)?

I do not go for cheap Chinese replicas, I prefer OEM wheels from producers like OZ.

For winter tires, on my X5 M50d I use

MSW 48 Mbfp 9X19 5X120 ET48 74.06

~ 1000 USD all of them

Reps, Avant Garde, Vossen, Curva, etc.....all cast wheels are made in the same, handful of factories in China. Quality will be close to the same regardless of the brand. People love paying almost double for a 'V' on their wheel. Chances are the cracks are not because they're reps but because 22's run on 30/25 aspect ratio tires that look like rubber bands. I've seen multiple Bentleys ruin their suspension and wheels because owners love their 22's. Forged wheels like BBS, HRE, etc. are in a different ballpark hence the price.
