Clear coat cracking on alloy wheels??
Hello,
I am 17 years old and after lots of working and saving, just bought my first car and bmw, it is 2014 116i m sport as pictured. Since getting the car I have noticed slight cracking, spider web like, lines around the rim of the wheel. Sorry if I have posted in the wrong area this is my first post. I haven't curbed it or damaged it in that way etc. I believe the wheels have been refurbished and resprayed as I can see 7 year old wheels looking that good cosmetically (bar the cracking that have developed) I gently wash the wheels using the least agressive cleaner I can get away with, however when it is needed, heavy brake build up etc, I use autoglym clean wheels. I have attached a picture below to show what I mean. Any help is really appreciated as I am only young and new to the automotive world! Thank you J Last edited by Hawkf21; 05-14-2021 at 02:13 PM.. |

My 8 year old OEM rims (two sets) look fine. I didn't notice anything similar last time I changed them for the season but my wheels are nowhere as clean as yours (Your tires are too shiny even for brand new ones!) and I didn't bother to study them meticulously either. |
