How's your repaired model 3 performance 20" bent rim holding up?

Curious if those with repaired bent 20" performance rims are holding up over time?

Perfectly fine.
I am upto 3 repaired wheels after 4.5 years of driving in NJ. Not sure which one is the sole survivor anymore, but all 4 are back on my car with the summer PS4S's right now. Zero problems.

Any cracks and leaks developing?

No, why would they?
Bent wheels weren't cracked (which would require welding), but only bent out of shape. Usually at one lip / end of the barrel, or the other.
Most repairs involve heating the effected area, and pushing the bent area back into the original shape. Then painting over the impacted area, if necessary.

Heated sections of metal are marginally weakened, and are thus slightly more susceptible to bending if hit again at that exact spot in the future.
On the other hand, Tesla wheels are cheap and soft overall, so its hard to make them much worse.

HTH,
