Could do with some help people.
I've got a 53 plate S4 (B6).

About 2 months ago i had a new tyre put on my front o/s due to what i thought was a slow puncture. End of last week the tyre started to go down over 2 days so today i thought i'd take it off a get the spare on. Cause i had the day off work i thought i'd do a proper clean of the car and wheels. When i cleaned the wheel i'd swopped i found a crack on the inner edge (from inside of wall to lip).
I've heard of the rs4 wheels being a problem but has anyone heard of problems with the B6 S4 wheels? It's genuine audi.
From what i can remember i've not hit any pot holes at speed.

Cheers

After showing the wheel to a guy down the road from me he say's that he's know quite a few people have alloy wheels repaired? Would any of you be happy having this done?
I'm looking at selling these soon but didn't want to get it repaired and then sell it on if it's dangerous.

I have got an RS4 hard wheel in my garden, it was one of four bought secondhand, i was driving at approx 30mph and noticed a vibration had developed, i stopped the car and found i had a flat tyre on the rear, when i changed the wheel and had a close look the wheel rim was cracked.
The wheel had been welded and the crack was right in the middle of the weld, my opinion is dont take a chance and bin it.

When i first took it off i was pretty sure it was scrap but when someone say's it can be done it gets you thinking.
Cheers for the reply gareth.
