Cracked wheel
 

Has anybody seen this happen to a standard Sti wheel wheel before, wheel has not been knocked or curbed at all in the 4 weeks that I've owned the car and was not cracked last week when I cleaned the wheels, 3 spokes cracked right through another 3 cracked half way through and another 2 starting to crack from the back when I removed the wheel.

Have they been powder coated? Seen i few wheels on here that have done that after being powder coated - it's where they bake them too hot in the oven which weakens them.

They had already been powder coated white when I bought the car.

ouch!

as said already they've been baked far to hot and weakened the structural integrity of the metal/wheel

+1.

You've caught it in time...there is another thread on here somewhere with one destroyed and half the suspension and wheel arch too:(

it has had a shock at some point ! all of them have cracks in

There were no cracks in them at all last week when I cleaned them and have not hit anything or went near any curbs within the last week.

All OEM Subaru will crack at some point and if has been powder coated will crack.We are run Powder coated alloys(no OE wheels) for few months without the failure,now running too and they're still in one piece and we are running like drag and track days
