Need 19" AMG wheel(s). Wheel cracked.

I went out this morning to find a flat on the rear of my 2011 SL550. Closer inspection found it wasn't the tire but that the wheel was cracked at the edge. Anyone have one or two they would like to sell? Pictures attached

Follow up - I found a local shop that can repair the wheel in a day.

Oh well, the weld lasted about a month. It broke today. Time for a replacement wheel or a complete new set. Parked in the garage while I look for something.

Life just feels different driving a ML350 instead of my SL550.

Does anyone know if this type of wheel is prone to cracking? I don't know if I just replace with the same wheel or get a new set of something else.
