It might be more useful to post the exact size you are
looking for: those Fuchs rims are available in 14",
15" and I think 16" sizes, and a variety of widths.

You could also check with Porsche dismantlers:

Someone that will have it for sure is a company called
Wheel Enhancement - note all the difference widths
they list:

Finally, those Porsche wheels were actually forged,
and I would think it very unusual to have a crack as
you described. Is there a chance there are copies and
yours are only cast?

Good luck!
