I've done something similar before with aftermarket alloys - cracked almost the whole way across the rim - there was only about an inch left that wasn't cracked when I took it in to the tyre shop to repair what I thought was a leak in the tyre!
No wonder it wasn't holding air.... and I'd been driving it like that for around 6 months after I hit the pot hole that I think caused it. Didn't notice because I didn't wash that Corolla once in that 6 month period, and did a fair bit of bush bashing in the poor little thing so it was caked in mud constantly!

My zenetti kaotics did that, but on every spoke, ended up in 2 pieces while going around a corner..... Tempe Tyres refuse to have anything to do with it saying I hit a gutter, even though there is no other scratches marks, dents or chips on the rim..
Am still in dealings with fair trading about it. Been 3 months so far. |

Stiddy, you're definitely not the first person I've heard having problems with Tempe!
