Description of the problem	Auto moving and not moving. My husband is ocd and very particular about our vehicles. I had a flat tire on a run flat and damaged my left driver's side back wheel. We decided to replace all 4 tires and that wheel. My spouse removed all 4 wheels from vehicle, cleaned and inspected each wheel and we carefully put them in the back of our truck. I took them to alderson mercedes in lubbock. I watched as monte the service adviser carefully removed all 4 wheels. Later in the day alderson calls and says that the right back wheel has a crack in it and needs to be replaced. I'm flabbergasted as i knew it didn't before i brought it. But its a he said she said. Upon researching the internet for complaints of mercedes benz wheels cracking i found a lot of them, enough for a class action suit. The problem is when new run flat tires which are extremely tough are installed it is so difficult that they crack. This is a defect of the wheel, not the technician. I'm afraid that if they crack this easily when just putting a new tire on them, that they will crack while driving on them. If this happens then the vehicle is unsafe to drive. Please look into the stress fracture properties of mercedes benz wheels. I think there is a potential safety hazard issue. I did not drive over a pot hole, so i know as other complaintants know this is a manufacturing issue.
