se alloys prone to cracks ?

As some of you will know I'm on the hunt for either an e91 or e92. At first i was set on an m sport but after months of searching with no joy yet i have now started looking at se model e92, it opening up my options a fair bit and i can get a nicer, newer, low millage car for my money. I wouldn't consider an se e91 but the se e92 is still a very nice car in my opinion especially with the 18' or 19'' alloys. Anyway my question is are any of the se alloys prone to cracks the same as the m sport mv3 and mv4 alloys ?

Also could someone tell me the name for each of these wheels ?

The 230's are prone to cracking. I've had three go in four years. They are the bottom ones above.

They are probably ok if you don't use RFTs
