313 BMW Performance wheels cracked
5 days ago i had a left rear destroy tire with 170kh . The next day at the dealer throw the destroyed tire and saw both rear wheels cracked.the right one at 6 points and the left one at 6.
So the problem looks like to be with all 19' wheels. At the end tell me please if i can put PSS at 235/35/19 at front and 265/30/19 at rear on stock 19' wheels. Thank's |

ouch... could it be the RFT's that are contributing to these wheel failures?

Will the dealer replace your wheels under warranty? Or are they telling you it is your dime? If so why ... Keep us updated.

They say it is your mistake for buying a car with those wheels? Wheels they and BMW supply for that car? I'd go mad and insist they replace them, if they sold the wheels they should be suitable for the car!

I haven't heard anything. Imagine my shock when I heard that Z4s have this problem.

Yes. Certainly the more high powered cars where camber is increased. This was a subject on a UK program called Watchdog some years ago when the Z4 wasn't even an issue back then.

No I don't think so ... I had a Z4 35i with 296 wheels before my M3 ... Both rear wheels on my then Z4 cracked.
Just to clarify
