I have had tons of wheels cheaper than these. None have ever cracked like this. And I never hit anything that made me think I cracked 3 out of 4 wheels. I know others had the same issues. I personally would not recommend them.
I hope Gill's mom doesn't track her car. 0_o

Holy crap!!! When/how did you notice this? I assume you were riding around for months just accumulating more cracks as time went on. I definitely haven't noticed any on my wheels, when did you buy them? I'm wondering if it truly was one bad batch or it's hit or miss... I always felt like Breyton made great wheels so I'd hope this is one bad, isolated batch...

Like I said, others have had the same issue. I bought mine in June of 2009 if I remember correctly. I found the cracks when I took my car to get a nail removed and patched one day. The techs showed me all of the cracks. They are extremely hard to see unless you look hard and clear the brake dust/dirt off first.

Very fragile. The matt gray seems to be a very thin layer with a kind of varnish on top. Also impossible to find the exact color for retouching if necessary. Breyton Germany don't want to give the color code.

I have to say that the paint on my breytons held up better than the paint on my Advans.

Would love these wheels, but apparently tire rack cant ship to australia, and i cant find anywhere in Australia that sells them. And even if somewhere did they would be like 1million dollars a rim based on us aussies getting raped price wise on everything.

My matte gray's now have 25,000 miles on them with no quality issues and only a couple small chips. The finish has been extremely durable. I love how easy these are to clean also.

Do you wax them ( what product?), because the matte has become a bit shiny. I prefer that above the original matte as it makes cleaning much easier.

Actually that's just some tire shine. Makes the wheels look nice too, sort of richens the matte finish. I have never waxed them or anything though. I was looking closely at the wheels today - literally only 3 tiny chips that I could find total, among the 4 wheels. They really do hold up very, very well!

I like the weight and looks of these wheels but 7.5/8.5 width??? Need to produce a 9.5 for the rear.
