Just incase those who have been affected by the cracked wheels don’t have a dartboard!

Photo take today on the journey to Schwarzwald from the passenger seat - at a good very non legal U.K. speed.!

i dont blame BBS, i blame BMW and mostly bridgestone for thinking a 30 profile tyre paired with a rock hard run flat was a good idea.

The Design criteria was wrong or they had not discussed the details.
Whoever is to blame it’s Joe Public who’s been left counting the cost of replacing wheels after they’ve cracked.

I thought most of the designs which are particularly prone to cracking were made by Ronal, not BBS.

The 326M was made by Ronal.

There wasn’t a need
I was only 100mph (ish)

The outside temp have bern 39° c today but even at 90/110 the oil temp has been very stable. The only failure has been the adhesive pad on the Dash Cam mounting

I’ve now got to find some replacement in a rural part of Germany.

Having just replaced one wheel.. hearing about how many people have had this problem... and how serious a problem a cracked wheel is... How can this not be a serious recall??? This is class action suit stuff here.
