AG m359 cracked too :(
So my relatively (<5months) new AG 359s have developed cracks on one of the rear alloys wtf....running non run flat tyres too!
225 rims that came with the car are cracked too. I'm guessing we are not covered by a warranty/manufactures guarantee etc etc? Any way rant over.....my question is I'm running 265/30/19s tyres wise can I run 265/35/19 with the 10inch rim with out scrubbing the arches? Any one tried this size? Thanks Sukh |

Yea I assume that would be the case.
I have PM'd CM wheels but like you say it's going be a pothole etc etc hopefully I can buy a single...not sure. The rubber band profile tyres size don't help I think increasing the profile size may help? |

what's the size up front that you are using? 235/40 or 225/40? Have you had your arches rolled/moded at all? thanks Sukh |

I bought wheels from cm wheels about over 4 years ago in 19" 265/30 tyres and they survived many potholes as roads here are terrible. Contact him maybe you get one cheap or full set with discount. Good luck

Every case will be different and different factors. I'm sure that you'd be fine on the same wheel. Quote:
Forged rims are most definitely superior but more for the fact they are strong (not always stronger than cast but far lighter for the same strength or better). But then you pay plenty more for them.

I also had a rear AG M359 crack on me running 265/30/19 after about 18 months I think it was. I'm very careful avoiding potholes and my MV4s never had a crack in them the 2 years I was running them

Got a picture?
Any chance it could be a cheap knock off?

The point I was making was that you won't find a cast wheel that will 100% not crack/buckle. You could buy real M359's, they won't crack, being forged and all... |

Right guys got an update.....
Chris and James have sorted me a replacement wheel! Can't fault the chaps at CM Wheels great communication after a few emails back and forth it was sorted. Will deffo use CM again they could of easily of told me its my own fault etc but I guess thats the difference thats set them apart! Cheers again CM! |
