*PLEASE READ CAREFULLY*
Type: Five L-Sportline Model IV - Single Piece Wheels
Size: 18"
Width: 18.5"
Offset: 45
*SOLD - MODS PLEASE CLOSE THREAD*
I had these for about 3 years now from a CL member. I took them off two weeks ago to rotate the inner and outside tire walls since I had camber wear on them. And while putting them noticed that 3 of 4 had hairline cracks on them which never leaked before. Now that the tire came off I guess the seal of the tire to the rim where the cracks were is not creating the same seal. I have tried to remove them and put the tire bead sealant but worked for a day but did not hold.
Four of five rims has cracks on them and releasing air. I will do my best to explain each rims and problems with them. If you know a place who welds rims this is a steal.
There is a 5th wheel same size and specs. In storage. Just the wheel no tire. Has a hairline crack as well.
Tires are Pirelli PZero Nero M&S 245/40ZR/18. Ultra High Performance All Season Tires
Bought new from tirerack. Here is the info on them
