wheels

[lixmas]

Hey all I have a 1999 996 c2 coupe 6 speed. i bought the car with 19" ruf polished rims. The rear driver side rim cracked last week under normal driving conditions. i know that they hve never had problems in the past with the previous owner. Im wondering if any ruf owners have experienced the same thing ever?? is it a regular problem with these wheels?? Will the manufacturer stand behind their product if it cracks like this? Any info would help.

I would contact RUF, the manufactuer they might replace the defective wheel. Could you post a photo of the crack?

WOAH! That is scary, Are you still driving the car?

That's *ugly*! I hope you're not driving it like that. And judging by the looks of the wheel, I don't see any obvious signs of damage on the exterior. What prompted you to notice the fracture?

i noticed a rubbing noise at low speeds when approaching a stoplight. i got out and looked and thats what i found. no, im not still driving it, my new wheel is here and will be replaced today. but i couldn't believe it as i wasn't driving fast or irresponsibly when i think it happened. these wheels are supposed to be the best, i sent the photo to ruf in texas and am waiting for a reply. i will send the wheel today to find out the coverage. they have to do something i would think as there is no other damage to the rubber or wheel. :drive:
