Is this wheel crack a problem?

Hi guys,

Please help me out with these 2 n00b questions about the rear wheels of my 2008 E93.

1. My wheel says 8.5J18 EH2 IS 37.
This means that I have 18 x 8.5 rear wheels with an offset of 37? What does EH2 and IS mean? Is that something I need to watch out for while getting new wheels?

2. My rear wheel leaks air and all the air is gone in 2 days, after which I have to reinflate. I have RFTs. I took it to a shop. They took that wheel off, did a visual inspection and concluded that the tire was ok but the wheel is leaking air because of a crack in the rim.

Here is a picture of the crack. (

So my question here is, can that tiny crack cause air to leak? If yes, if I just get it mended, will it be fine?

Thanks a lot!
