Cracked Euromeister

[Driven97]

Swapping to the offseason tires yesterday I noticed one of my Euromeisters needs replacement. Ugh.

4 years of hard AX plus a couple of track days.

Check your stuff often.

[rothaus]

What size are yours, and how old are they ?

Cheers

That's a rear 17x9, about 4 years old.

the question now is will they stand behind their product

any wheel can crack w/ hard use and age, but some manufacturers are better at making you whole again afterward

I had a 4 year old track only Forgeline crack, they rebuilt that wheel and the other side as well w/ a very short turn around and for a very reasonable price.

Nice catch!
Could have been a much more dramatic discovery of that crack...

And yes, very good catch on your part. I have a brand new set of Euro's in my garage waiting for me to put summer highway tires on. At least they are pretty much the cheapest alternative for new wheels available for our cars. A replacement wheel won't cost too much more than a shopping cart of winter maintenance parts. A track failure could have been bad.

We'll see, but I wouldn't expect the same level of service on a $200 bargain foreign wheel as I would on a $1200+ US made premium wheel.

Yeah I'm not even going to bother, I'm just going to replace it.
