The only times I've ever heard of or seen cracked BMW rims is the 124's....have seen lots of pics where the entire barrel separated from the spokes.

if he didn't know i think it's fair to return it. you didn't drive it for long time since the purchase right?

+1 These wheels are cracking. I've seen a LOT of people with 124's cracked. The guy in indy shop says the same thing: they should have a recall on it. Even aftermarket rims don't crack as often as these

I already agreed to a partial refund to get them fixed. I was just getting ready to mount them when I noticed. I didn't drive on them at all. Overall, with the refund, I think the deal is still somewhat decent. Maybe not?!!! Oh well...
