Cracked BMW wheels

I'm now facing having to repair my alloy wheels (the 19 optional tyres that came with car - ex-demo) for the 6th time. It's just ridiculous, is there anything that can be done? Will BMW replace these given that they've been repaired so many times, the car is still under warranty, should I 'kick-off' at the local dealer?

Yes. Scrap the ludicrous 19" wheels and switch to 16" or 17" wheels with sensible profile tyres.
