Cracking bmw alloys
Discussion
I've had to replace the nearside rear alloy on my E89 zed4 because of cracking And despite a weld repair that got it an m o t pass and lasted 150 miles a new wheel is the only alternative despite eBay and dismantling companies I've tried the lot
Seems BMW are notorious for poor quality wheels. Anyone had similar?

And RFT!
No. Happens regardless, even on brands who never fit RFTsOn the other hand I’d be surprised if smaller BMW rims, with high profile tyres, RFT or not crack with the frequency of larger rims.
Not surprising it’s a nearside rear on a Z4, in the gutter and a lower profile tyre than the front in all likelihood. Mind you, 10/11 years isn’t too bad if it’s the first.
