are these wheels worth repairing if they got a crack in them? i repaired 1 and now my other 1 has 2 little cracks in it wots goin on

what make are the reps????

you can get them repaired but its not going to stop it cracking for anywhere else, also depends how much they are going to cost to repair.

how you manged to crack them?

Raj

my reps are scuffed and never cracked saying that years ago used to have wolfrace poodoos and 2 of them cracked

you must be doing something wrong as i drive mine very hard and havent cracked one yet and ive had 2 different sets. cracks can be welded and repaired easy enough .

Probably because they're not the real thing

Buy cheap, buy twice.

the makes i dont no, i no for sure they are not the bk 171. i had 1 wheel repaired already bcoz i got them like that of a zoner 3 wheels was good 1 had to be repaired, i dont no how i got a crack on this wheel though i was loosing air, lets say i put in 32 today tommorow it would be 10, so i got it checked and the tyre guy says theres to cracks thats wer its leaking from. ive had lots of wheels in the past but never had this kind of problem until i got these alpina reps, is it the way they are made? thanks raj

i dont think i did anything wrong lol i was just driving normal fuzzy, and i think ur rite maxfield may b bcoz they aernt the real ones lol

I have the BK ones on mine, had them over three years now and had no problems..... and yes it does get driven as it should

James.

It's because they are ashamed of their gayness.

I bought a set of alpina reps 18 months ago (new) and i spent more time pumping them up than driving with the damn things. If i wasn't pumping them up i was in the tyre shop having them balanced. Bloody thing would shake your fillings out from 45mph all the way upwards. Took them back and complained and came away with another set of tyres but guess what, no sodding different. Best thing i ever did was buy some BBS rims, now it drives perfect.

lol i agree with u on the shaking jacko but mine never seemed to bad, im just geting these cracks and now im geting fed up 2 bcoz each time i repair them it costs me £35 so im thinking of geting sum bbs to i think thas the best way and 15inch wil b a nice n comfy ride im hoping without any crack problems

I think you'll always get cracks if the rims are vibrating all the time. Can't be good.

I personally wouldn't drive on a wheel that had cracked or been repaired. Not a pretty site when it lets go at speed ! Get a good set on there, your life and others is worth more than a few wheels.

Just weigh the feckers in, they were probably made in china anyway so let them have their sh1t back

the bk ones are ok its the £199 a set brandnew ones you gotta watch out for

r4j666, you have a PM

Raj

yer i guess kevin and all u lads have a point, better to change them to sumthin else if they keep giving me problem like this. thx lads

r4j66 who did you buy your wheels off? because if they are my old ones you have more worries than you think.

You let the owner drive away with cracked wheels?

i no they wernt urs bcoz i went to pick these ones up myself from a lad i no near brum

No maxfied i let him put a freshly sprayed E30 shell on to a flat bed with fucked wheels on. It was that or my spare set of bbs

near birmingham haha sounds more and more like my old wheels the more you talk.im only trying to look out for you dude.

who did u sel them 2 u no the name of the zoner m8

Get some BBS on there mate ;)

im not going to accuse him of doing such a thing so i wont mention his name and besides i dont think he would do that, but you never know. dont worry about it mate. the set i gave him had 1 cracked 2 buckled and 1 ok. they were in a crash at a high speed.im not trying to have a dig at you mate, i like alpina reps i think they are good wheels.

In my opinion alpina reps are better wheels to have on an e30 when they are properly fitted and balanced and made by bk. they arent stronger but that doesnt matter as long as you dont introduce them into kirbs all the time

yes morat im thinkin of this bbs but not just sure yet c wot happens

anytime buddy, good luck with them.

lol @ dan whats so bad about them?

they crak lol

they dont if you dont smash them into curbs. they are a little heavier with a better center of gravity for a start. they give the back end greater stability as well

may b its just my luck then, thing is i dont remember hiting any curbs or potholes or anything, all i no is the wheel was loosing air and the tyre guy says ther is 2 smal cracks, than again i dont have the bk ones may b i got the cheapy copys oh wel best way is to get rid of them i guess
