So thought it was my tyre that had a slow puncture, but just had a new tyre fitted and same has low leak is happening
Is it likely a cracked alloy? That's all I can think it could be?
How much/where would I get a replacement alloy (it's 17" monza)

Did they change the valve at the same time? Most likely that.
Long time since I've seen your name posting again

Get them to submerge the rim and inflated tyre in a drum of water.
Should show evidence of where the leak is...

What condition are the alloys in? If you have flaking lacquer it will get under it no matter how much gunk they put on when they fit the tyre.
Good luck getting it sorted
