It seems to me that its the result of two volatile ingredients coming together that should be kept apart, some 19" wheels are prone to cracking (but only when exposed to rf Bakelite tyres)Busterboo wrote:Yes, you're right.

None.
But I don't need to have proof, because I never claimed that they did.
Let those who make the claim provide the proof.
It seems probable that BMW's 296 19" wheels are prone to cracking. So, since "'Tis safer to avoid what's grown than question how 'tis born', avoid them.
Some claim that RFTs cause this cracking. This seems improbable to me, not least because RFTs don't crack other wheels. Far more likely is that the wheels are of poor quality.
Its like combining magnesium & water, fine on their own but explosive together!
