Cracked BBS Wheel
 

I just changed my tyres on my BBS wheels when I notice a small crack on the inside of the tyre bead. You can see from the photos that the wheel has never been kerbed or refurbished.

What do you reckon my changes of a goodwill claim from BBS is ?

That's not good, surely they will do that as goodwill as clearly no kerbing .. and its simply a failed part .. deffo worth pushing

How old are they T$ ? Defo product failure there mate, stress fracture not impact, they should cough up. Knowing you ..as I do, you have checked the others abd they are fine ...yes?
Are you the first owner of them T$? so you can prove wheel ownership/history from purchase ?

That's a shame as I was 99.9% on buying these, didn't know they cracked or is that a one off?

Incidentally is that a front or a rear as I know you run 9J on the front don't you? :)

I dunno about that - they've ridden a few kerbs at the Ring :whistle: :hahaha:

Well that just fooked up his chances of a warranty claim Rob !!:hahaha:

S**T! Lucky you noticed it before it caused an accident!

Never heard of that on CH's before, good luck with BBS.

T$ is still capable of causing them ...crack wheels or not !:hahaha:

Looks like it was still just about holding air was it ? If crack had been any longer and it would have gone flat. ... crack ! what a great word !

:hahaha::hahaha::hahaha::hahaha::hahaha::hahaha::h ahaha:

And then this can happen!!!

:smt075 bloody garage didnt check the pressure when refitting the summer tires!

Nasty ! ..hope they sorted you out ok !

Catch 22 situation, I was just about to change them anyway... they had a couple thousand miles left in them and the garage knew this plus the owner of the garage is planning to buy my R1 powered mini, so I cant have to much of a go at him...... unless he doenst buy it!

Flange is quite good too. As for gusset.... say no more.

Pip :whistle:

damn hope you get it sorted :(

I am pretty sure they will replace the wheel.

this thread confims why i cant be bothered with these wheels things thesedays! :beer:

:hahaha: :hahaha: :hahaha:

:-D

That's a bit concerning, i best have a look at mine when i change my tyres to the Glendog recommended PS-2's :-D

:hahaha::hahaha::hahaha:

i thought you were a Falken convert!

PuSsy2s :blalalala:

Yes but always up for trying new things..... just like you are my friend

Give the vredsteins ago, My mate runs them on his M3, much better than the falkens and not far behind the pussy;s

Might have a look at them but was impressed with the PS-2's on Glendogs car.

But that could have been his superb car control and not the tyres :thumbs:

Ive tried all sorts of road tyres Stu,you wont beat Ps2s,ive just got a new set and there twice as good as the Goodyear F1s i just took off.;)

I thought this thread was about a cracked wheel :banghead:

Why don't the "wingnuts" who want to talk about they pussey tyres start their own thread up :blalalala::blalalala::blalalala:

There's not much more you can say about a cracked wheel Matt.;):blalalala:

+1

I was right outside the BBS factory this friday btw.

I remember that I filled in the warranty form for my set of BBS CHs and it was clearly stated that BBS will replace any wheel that got damaged when it was properly used (you didn't crash it, smash it etc).

Did you get any answer yet ?
I remember one more case of a BBS CH wheel that cracked in the same way.
I don't remember where I saw it :(

I can confirm that your wheel is cracked T$ :hahaha:

ive heard rumours that BBS replicas are everywhere - have you checked T$?:whistle:

Havent read the rest of the topic, but that cracking is the same as I had on a standard BBS CSL rim that hadn't been marked either!!

Pot hole I reckon
