What rim is cracked on your cars? I have had my X5 for less than a month, and about a week and a half ago, I saw a BIG crack on my right rear wheel. I checked the other wheels and they were fine. Then about 2 days after, I see another crack and again another 2 or 3 days later, and again a few days later but this time its long. Here where I live there are a lot of potholes, but I will drive 2mph to get around it even if I am holding traffic. Within 1 week I got 3 BIG cracks on the same right rear wheel which shouldn't happen especially when the car is new.
Heres some pictures of the first crack.
I got a car wash at night, and the next morning this is what my brakes looked like. I thought they got rusted overnight an d I was getting pissed, but after driving it, it went away.
