wezza9 Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 i know mate the wheel will have flexed when they cracked i always torque wheels up before i go on track mates take the p**s out of me doing it every time so what reasons this could have happened ????1 over tightened 100n/m = should have stripped the tread 1st 2 powder coating = top of the list due to info from people i know that some wheels have been known to go brittle after powder coating normally on thin spoked wheels 3 the wheel nuts backed of = scary thought but do not know why they would and i had checked before i went out that tight i had done 5 laps so not that long out and no noise on any other corner before the one when it went4 the wheel touched caliper = 3mm spacer on i have done 2 trackdays in the car with them wheels on and the last owner had done 1 and a session on another day in it so not likly 5 bad wheel = its cracked and then flexed and it has done the rest of the damage 6 any other ideas ??????????????????
