Hello,

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced problems with their Miro 111/935?s?

I purchased my wheels and tires and received them in May and have put less than 1000 km on my vehicle since.

They appear to have these crack lines all around the rear inner rims :S

Comments, Advice? Would there be some sort of a warranty for something like this? Its gonna hurt to put those my 124s back on

Sorry for the poor BlackBerry pics

It should be covered by warranty? Who did you buy them from? Give them a call and see what's up or you can try calling Miro directly @ 714.255.9099

Yes, I have had a lot of cracks in my Miros. One wheel had 6 cracks and 2 other wheels had cracks also. I attributed it to my low profile tires and pot holes... Is there some kind of defect in these wheels? I would be interested in compensation from the manufacturer if that is true. I have wasted a lot of money on these wheels for only getting 2-3 months use out of them!

6 cracks!?! Thats absurd!

The vendor I purchased from's response time is disgusting to say the least...

I tried contacting Miro today, as per Michaels suggestion, but they have no desire in dealing with the public, so I'm stuck waiting...

Kryptus, are you just driving around with them cracked?

There's gotta be some sort of recourse...Feel like I just wasted a bunch money

Well the forged wheels I want will run me about $5K... Probably more depending on tires and shipping.



Steve, you could make an insurance claim. It counts as a collision though, so your rates may ge up. Basically you tell them you hit a bad patch of road. The thing is you dont get reimbursed for tires, so depending on your deductable you might not get very much back.

$1K deductable, plus the rate hike doesn't seem worth it. Even if it were a viable option, it would likely crack again in the next few months and I'd be in the same predicament again :s

The $5K route actually doesnt seem so bad now that I look at it from this angle, lol.
