I have a small crack in my rim causing me to lose around 10psi a day. I found some replica wheels on ebay for around $75 each, are these safe to use as a replacement on a daily driver? I did find a junk yard that has one for $90 but it's 2 hours away.

Here is the wheel I found: ebay.com/itm/Replacement-17x7-Inch-Wheel-Rim-For-Chevy-Malibu-08-12-Saturn-Aura-And-G6-07-10/253030364367?_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D225654%26meid%3Dcac28945b65641d6bd6c7eb7b169b73e%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dpf%26sd%3D323398789329%26itm%3D253030364367%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DSimplAMLv5PairwiseWeb&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851

They have over 500+ sold but I was still hesistant to go the China route without checking.

Go with the $90 ones. I watched a documentary on fake rims from China, they are not safe.
