you know these alloys are famed for cracking on the inside edge ?
Rumor is it's to do with the side wall stiffness of run flats, but either way worth being aware of this point. FWIW I have these on my 08 E91 (they are called m-spider style 193 I believe) and the dealer had to replace a cracked one under warranty. hth |

The information on the cracking is new to myself so I am interested on how the observations were first discovered ? Do you have any pictures on this issue ? |

The crack should loose pressure, taking them off for a good clean inside and out will probably show a crack, or pumping them up higher than you'd run them and spraying soapy water on them, same as a slow puncture.

The cost of these cars and parts is very high in Thailand compared to the UK, and this is despite the fact that the 320 is assembled here. |

Monger007,
not for a moment suggesting alloywheelsdirect are the cheapest UK source. Was merely trying to balance the rather inflated price quoted by "cupraraj" in post 2 above. Good luck with your project. |

Regarding this cracking issue that I do not have knowledge of, would this be related to this particular type of design, or are we looking at various BMW rims that are fitted with the RFT. |

Thanks for the pictures, its very interesting for me to learn on these issues.
I will need to check with the dealer if they cover the rims in the 5 year BSI. In Thailand they try and worm there way out of everything, I do not have any friends here who have the same model so I am pulling a lot of good information here on the forum. |
