Help Alloy problems

Hi All, bought an E85 3l a year ago with 18" wheels. Found out yesterday both rear alloys badly cracked in 5 places and one side won't hold any air in tyre. Should I consider repair (they are all original but had hard life) and refurb or buy replacement set of something like Romac Radiums or possible an already refurbed set.

All suggests gratefully received,.

Thanks

Cracked in 5 places id say the end is in sight for that wheel :cry:
 
Hi mr wills, I think you're probably right. I just hate to throw anything away but I think its the wise choice to get a new set all round. Ive just been looking at Romac Radiums, which look identical to BMW originals. Cost £500 for set of 4! Too cheap???

You have Bmw originals of these :?

That looks similar to BMW Style 127's or 359's but they were both 19" for other models

Well they look exactly the same albeit in silver. Do you think they're not original.

Suggest you share a picture of what wheels you have on the car now and their specs.
