This seems to be a trend lately... Although I'm 99% positive that the last place who mounted tires on my wheels cracked my wheel when the were breaking the bead off the wheel. (There's no impact damage and the cracks were 70ish degrees apart which matches up perfectly to some bead breakers.) But I didn't notice the cracks till after I got a flat, which was awesome. I'm not sure how AUS-55 found out his wheel was cracked, but he did crack one.

My brother just had to buy new wheels for his C class because most of the wheels were bent and one was cracked. What's up with these MB wheels?
