i just got some 17" wheels for autoX and DEs, i am driving around on them and my ride is so much more harsher than when i was on 15"s. I dont think i can drive all the time on 17"s.

later...

Hehehe -- I think someone (dealer?) did this to the two back wheels on my M3 before I bought it. They looked fine for a while then started to come apart. Then when I got tires changed, the lip of the tire removal machine rode over those puttied areas and cracked them right off. My wheels don't look all that great now. No biggie, really, I'm aware my car's PO was an idiot.

It does look like a nice way to fix a little scuff.
