I replaced one rear 124' because it was cracked. Now I have 2 more that are bent and couldn't be balanced! It pissing me off. Even KIA don't have those problems as much as 545's.. I've seen way too many people who had this..

Almost every 545i owner with Sport Pacage and 124 will experience this. BMW should do a recall cause it's obviously their defect and fault. I guess people need to call in to custumer care so they can start replacing those

whats the realistic possibility of this happening? I WISH BMWNA would do something about it. All four of my 124's are cracked, and two are slightly bent.
two have slight air leaks. it totally sucks. ive been trying to make a cost effective, yet stylish decision on new wheels...

Forget trying to locate good looking wheels for almost any car. Last good looking wheels I saw was on my 94 Taurus, 96 Taurus, 91 Olds 98, late 90 model Caddies, and CTSs. They used to make wheels with a large center (perhaps 8 or 10 inches) with good looking spokes going out to edge of rim. Because of weight, they have eliminated the large center. My 2 cents.
