Cracked Rim

MuffinMan910 · 08-31-2014, 01:53 PM

I fill up my rear passenger side tire every day to 41psi (i thought thats a bit high but its what the door sticker says) and the next day it always down to 28 - 30psi. So i thought okay.. slow leak.. no problem, simple fix.

Turns out the rim was cracked by the previous owner and the weld to fix the original crack has some how split open again.

I think i read somewhere at some point that you cant fix an already once repaired rim when it comes to cracks. is this correct?

worse case scenario... how much does it cost to get a single oem 193m rim?

about 350 gbp on ebay in the uk. Note that rear wheels are wider than fronts.

Get used to it. Just received my second brand new rear in from BMW. The pressure drop gets significantly worse over a short period of time. Now I have two cracked rears that I will be looking to get repaired as spares.

Do a quick google search on 193Ms cracking.
