Anytime
Also should add that in reading up on Rays specifically, their wheels are mandated by law to be JWL certified, but they take it a step further hence the JWL+R certification. Again I do not know what the acceptable failure rate is, nor their sampling rate from the processing. Just a little more explanation why they expect you to pay a bit more, and why people expect that once you buy a Volk rim, you'll never have to replace it...unless 1) you drive dumb or 2) you want to.
edit - someone beat me to it...and was a little more concise than i am

The wheels shatter because the casting process itself can lead to very weak wheels if done improperly. The material properties bear that out.
That, and stealing the IP of another company is just....ugh.
With that said, I'm just curious what 370ztune defines as 'Real Wheels'. I assume this is just a point against Varrstoen, Rota, and other knock-offs?
