    Yup, had my left rear fixed about 2 weeks ago. 1 inch long crack, $100 to fix with mounting and balancing.

    Since owning my car, I've cracked 4 Style 135s, don't know how, i drive around potholes as if I am warming my tires...cost me $110 each to fix, then someone told me it is very dangerous to get them repaired. Ended up buying new ones for the last couple. And then just bought the Motorsports.

    Honestly I feel part of the reason is the OE tire profile being so low

    I wish mine would crack (at a safe margin) so I have a good reason to upgrade to style 264
    These overly busy wheels are the only thing i dislike about the ZHP - and I dislike them a lot :/

    The 264s are a great looking wheel on the ZHP! Just something about a mesh style wheel on a BMW for me, looks right. But yes, detailing is not the easiest :

    Depends how big it is. Usually if you look belowbthe car at the back of the certain wheel, you can see the crack on the outer edge, close to the tire sidewall.
