I'm beginning to wonder if this is a manifold-type issue all over again for Fiat? Wheels should *not* be failing so catastrophically, with potentially fatal consequences, even given their age, surely?

Of course it is going to be easy to argue that we have no way of knowing if these wheels have ever been kerbed/potholed etc and that has led to the failures but it is worrying to see, especially if this is becoming a more common issue.

I've suggested the sticky idea to the board, obviously one of the current stickies will have to be dropped to make room, but we can look at that, assuming the board go with the proposal.

Thanks,

Stan

Never seen the 16v wheel do it

Seen a few on scrap heaps. Never seen the 16v wheel do it - it has a lot more meat on it, of course (as well as looking better!).
