This year I have had two rims crack on my tires. 1 Front and 1 rear. This was not from a impact or pothole they just cracked. I belove this is a manufacturing defect on the AMG CLS-63S rims and should the break apart on the highway this could be a potential safety issue. Should it had only been 1 rim I could see it being a non-issue, but now another one with a car that only has 40,000 miles on it. This is deeply concerning.
