| I bought a used 2001 vw passat for my daughter in august of 2009. it kept having problems with loosing tire pressure and i found cracks on the back side of all four rims where the bead of the tire seals. i then replaced all four wheels with the same oem vw wheel, part # 69745, about a year ago with reconditioned rims off ebay; the supplier told me they cannot recondition wheels with cracks. last week i checked a low tire on the car and again found a crack on the new rim at the same location. as far as my daughter knows, she has not impacted anything against the wheel . i have to beleive there is a dangerous defect in the design and or manufacturing of this rim and vw should be held responsible for my purchase and for the replacement of these rims. | |||
