Factory wheel cracked

Noticed a crack starting in the lip of my factory aluminum wheel. Anyone know if thats a warranted item, or am I stuck footing the bill to replace it? Thanks.

There was an issue with some of the 03 aluminum wheels cracking and Dodge paid to replace them. If you are out of warranty though you may get stuck with it. I'd try Dodge first since it's a safety issue they may fix it. If not then you can find one used fairly cheap....

I would just get a good set of aftermarket wheels. i wouldn't trust the wheels you have and how would you know if the new set would be any better? I would have me doubts.

Well, it's not an issue you read about often so I would be inclined to say that it's an isolated one... I would not hesitate to just replace the one that was cracked because I really don't like aftermarket rims.....
