Funny that .... headline news in the German papers today .... the national MOT agency TÜV has just announce a priority warning that alloy wheels have started to crack and disintegrate. Doesn´t trouble me as I´m a biker (with spoked wheels).

They're just now figuring that out? The old magnesium wheels started doing that ages ago. Once the anodizing is off the cast aluminum wheels, they can do the same. Spun wheels are apt to be more corrosion resistant, as are some of the billet jobs, depending on the alloy used.
