Had a small nail in the right rear tire repaired today and the shop noticed a small crack :mad:

(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 :thumbsup:

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

another one with the 124's? :unsure:

You guys can get together and buy my set of 124 :P

yeah -i've got a set of 124's i'll part-out to you guys. I've got two that aren't bent of the four. I don't know which ones aren't bent yet and whether they're the ones with curb-rash or not. When i get my M166's on tuesday, I'll let know more. If you guys are interested, let me know.

Interested...tnx :thumbsup:

On second thought.....maybe not.

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"

:unsure:

OMG SFBimmer ,

Where did you trash your wheel?

Get a new one at once, for your own safty, this is a gonner....

No idea.....however definitly replacing :thumbsup:
