Important for Performance BBS Owners

After one year I saw this when I got out of the D3 after a drive home from work:

After going to the dealer we inspected the other 3 wheels.
Everyone with serial number 06706 had starting cracks.
The one with other serial number had nothing. In a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin.

I got aftermarket Stormers and have been running them for over a year now with no problems!
But, I always give close inspection when I wash them for reasons as above. ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

Sorry for the late reply...

I got brand new ones.
The importer told me this can't happen with these wheels In a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin.
