Crack in wheel lip - Carrera Light wheel

While cleaning my wheels prior to putting them back on the car after finishing my winter ‘to do’ list I found a crack in the inner lip on one of the rear wheels. Now I know why that tire loses a couple of lbs per week ever since I brought it home (it’s bubbling soapy water from inside the lip between the lip and the tire). The other three are fine (except somebody gouged the cr@p out of the other rear inner rim lip).

Oh well, I’ll find a wheel repair place tomorrow and take it in next week.





The wheel does not appear or feel when driving that it is out of round. Who knows what or when this happened in the car’s history. The wheel was so dirty on the inner rim that it was missed it in the PPI.
