Had a small nail in the right rear tire repaired today and the shop noticed a small crack 
(Not leaking air at this time)
At home I also noticed that the rim is slightly bent...
From doing a search it appears that:
1) Others have had much more serious issues with their 124's
2) Repair/replacement is not covered via warranty
3) Will need to buy a new wheel
Any comments/suggestions?
Tnx

I just replaced my cracked left front rim which was leaking. It looked a lot like yours, but it was a straighter hairline crack that slowly leaked air. The FTM brought it to my attention. Some people claim they can be repaired with a weld. I don't like that idea since a failure could be catastrophic. I would not drive on a cracked rim. Search the site for other, more severe rim failures. Go here: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=42085

Your June 18th post states "My 545's rims are HOSED and the tire shop is pissed at me for making them rebalance them 5 times"
