Alloy wheels - A warning!

[jonrola]

This is a warning to anyone thinking of buying new alloys for their pride and joy. I bought a set from BKracing, Exeter, and have had nothing but trouble with them. In fact I would go so far as to say they are extremely dangerous! All four wheels suffer from intermittent, sudden deflation with the tyre almost leaving the rim. All the wheels have been tested and none have been punctured. This sudden and complete deflation has caused severe damage to every wheel. I now have a stack of alloys in my garage which cost me £550 and which are absolutely useless. I spoke to BKracing by telephone but they didn't want to know and they do not reply to any of my emails.
BKracing - not worth the risk! There are other companies!!

do you have a "Better Buisness Beurru" ? Try talking to them. Chances are this may be a design flaw. see if there are other cases with these same model tires and rims.

Chances are you are scrubbing them to hard in turns and are "burping" the bead on them.

I had the same problem with my katana Belagios.
