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?

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 !
