Both rear wheels are cracked
I'm pretty convinced that there is an element of validity to the pothole story with these ultra low profile tires and run flats. Los Angeles is rife with pot holes and quite a few of my friends who have sports cars complain about ruining rims all the time. I myself hit a pot hole in the dead of night with my 326 wheels. The very next time I was at the dealer, they noticed a flat spot on the wheel that took the hit. It wasn't cracked, but it was noticeably flat once I saw it up on the rack. I just remember being shaken to my bones when I hit that pot hole at about 50 miles an hour. Lucky me, I have the comprehensive wheel warranty and they got me a brand new wheel at no cost out of pocket. Still, I honestly think hitting pot holes at speed with these low profile tires and wheels does them no good.
