Hi,
I know that wheels are wear items. But I have a question regarding Panasport wheels that perhaps translates to others. The 8-spoke Panasports are painted. And that means you'll get various marks and dings over time. I have one rim that has a blemish that looks like it could be the start of a crack, but to die-test, I'd have to sand-blast the area clean and that's headed down a path I'd rather not take right now.
So, when in question - just toss?
Anyone care to share stories of crack testing aluminum rims that are painted and/or powder coated?
Regards,Bob Lang339-927-4489

Hi Bob,
         I have cracked 3 sets of the 949racing wheels autoxing my MINI-  I
hand sanded thru the paint at the suspected crack and used a dye penetrant
test on them to verify what I could see with my naked eye.  After that, I
went to a slightly heavier wheel.  No cracks to report....

Real Panasports are real $$, might be worth at least checking one.

In semi related news, I just ordered a pair of the VTO 8 spoke wheels made
to a non-standard offset to try on my GT6.  Ordered thru the website- super
easy.  They had them machined and shipped out in less than 1 week.  So far
a great experience.

Jason
