I think the title pretty much explains it... Right when I've found the deal of a lifetime on a 535 and decided to put my car up for sale, guess what? You want the long story? (if you're still reading this, instead of going to the next thread or PM'ing me, then I guess you do). Here it goes:

1. Walked up to my car, noticed my left rear wheel sitting a little lower then usual

2. Check tire pressure - at zero

3. Went to my shop to get the flat patched.

4. Found out the tire is ABSOLUTELY fine. What gives? A crack in the rim F**K!!!!!!!

5. Looking to buy a used 123 rim in good condition - preferrably, locally, but don't mind paying for shipping, under the circumstances.

Anyone got one? PM me immediately

more than you prob want to spend but here you go man

 

in my 540 e39 i had a cracked rim too, but i found a palce that fixed the crack, it was at the bottom of the arm. Just giving you an idea...
good luck

 

I've had this rim repaired before and it cracked again in a totally different spot - I think when you have a rim repaired, it is 50/50 whether it'll hold - sometimes it cracks again rightaway, others - holds forever.


Anyone ever deal with this type of rims:

I think this is simply a refurb-type of deal, but I'm not clear as to what warranty - if any - they provide, and whether its even worth it. But their rating is excellent...
