I work for an expedite transport carrier. In my now close to 3 years driving two sprinter 2500's i have had 7 of the 10 rims fail. In each and every case the same problem developed. A hairline fracture has the rim losing air near where the valve stem hole was punched. I mentioned 10 rims as even one of the two spares failed. Imho this is a clear indication that this problem is not a wear and tear thing. After getting new tires last week along with a replacement rim i explained my problem to the tire technician.to my surprise they found a leak in a rim that was supposed to be remounted. The owner of the transportation company i drive for also owns 3 mercedes 2500 sprinters and all 3 vehicles have had similar problems. I have now started collecting the defective rims. I have 3 along with photos of a 4th showing the liquid stop leak oozing from a fracture. These rims are not rusty and the technicians theory is that the hole stamping process for the valve stem has likely compromised the integrity of the steel near the hole. I believe that these rims ahould be replaced
