Style 66 hairline cracks

[AusE39er]

Hi guys,

Anyone ever come across this before?

From what I've read, this can't be fixed as it's at the base of the spokes. Is this wheel cactus?

Cheers,
Adam

Hi AusE39er,

I recently purchased a 2001 525i with the same wheels and have the same hairline cracks. Did you get it fixed?

If they are cracked you can't repair them. The cracks can also be worse than you are seeing. Without an X-ray of the wheel you really don't know.

Hi,

As per Jim's response above, to crack at that point of the wheel I'd suggest the damage is worse/deeper into the metal of the wheel. I'd personally discard the wheels and buy another set. If they must be Style 66's, then these are very very common to find.

Cheers, Dennis!
