Cracks on alloy wheel.
 

This doesn't look good. Just noticed crack on one of the spokes on my alloys.

Guessing it's a write off?

Not good that and very dangerous,is it a genuine subaru wheel.

Nasty ..

THIS!!!.SJ.

Powdercoated WRX wheels, standard to crack tbh :)

53 beat me to it, thats what happens when you powder coat wheels..... :)

Yes mate, alloys came with the car that way on my daily driver. Only just noticed as i was looking to touch up the kerb marks. Its cracked the top spoke but don't think its gone all the way through, and half cracked the spoke below.

Very weird as never know one to crack like this as it doesn't look like its had an impact.

I don't think they have been power coated. On one of the wheels a chuck of black paint has come off and it shows grey underneath, in perfect condition. Doesn't even look like the person who sprayed them has even sanded the alloys down first. Think its just a spray can job.

Cheers for links. Will get it changed asap. :(

there is nothing wrong with powdercoating wheels !! standerd wrx wheels are reknowned for cracking powdercoated or not !!

Very interested in this as i do alot of wheels as its my trade. I wet paint them and have good results but before i got into trade i had my wheels on my uk300 powder coated. They didnt crack but suffered very badly from stone chips after a few weeks.

we powdercoat 1000s of wheels and have never had any issues , as for stone chips thats something we cant do anything about im afraid its just the roads etc :thumb:

This was a few years ago they suffered very bad. The company redone them and i never had an issue again.

My bugeye front o/s wheels cracked on the inside of the rim a few years back (having sustained impact with a fox at 70mph) ... resulted in an MOT failure.

Well its happened again on the opposite side now. Noticed a crack appearing.
