I bought a 2017 Lincoln MKZ Black Label at just under 13000 miles in July, 2019. Three weeks after the purchase I got a low tire pressure warning. It showed 31psi and the rest had 36 psi. Every three weeks like clock work I would have to air up that same tire. It became so predictable I purchased a mini rechargeable air compressor in November. Fast forward to Feb. 21 and the psi was down to 17. I took it to Discount Tire. They showed me the inside of the rim. It had a perfectly straight crack with no other obvious damage to the rim or tire. Needless to say, if I wanted to keep the same beautiful wheels 19” brushed chrome with black 15 spokes another one would have to ordered for a whopping cost of $900 before taxes and labor. I just wanted to know how common this problem is with the Lincoln brand. I had read most of the complaints concerning the 2017 Chevrolet Corvettes and I’m now leery of the wheels on my Lincoln. ---

Is the car still under warranty? If so, it wouldn’t hurt to see what the dealer says about this, although most likely they’ll say it isn’t covered. ---

> [@Theresa57](#): > > d I’m now leery of the wheels on my Lincoln. Two choices 1. buy a matching wheel ( doubt if they are all bad ) 2. 900.00 will buy a set of 4 wheels and then you don’t have to worry about the ones you have. It was a used vehicle so someone probably hit a pot hole or curb and damaged that wheel. ---

Check other sources. I found the identical rim for my car from another supplier. All I had to do was swap out the center cap. About 1/2 the price of the rim from FoMoCo. ---

Not knowing where you live…but around here in NH and Northern MA there’s this placed called RimPro. They can repair your rim and it’s far cheaper then a new rim. [https://www.rimpro.com/](https://www.rimpro.com/) Check to see if there are any services like that near you. ---

Yeah, I was going to recommend a wheel repair shop, one near me mentions welding cracked wheels.
