You spent 3-4 grand on a set of wheels that are top-of-the-line, name brand, best materials on earth, first guys to make that design, etc, etc, etc. Now someone comes along and buys a set of wheels that are for most intents and purposes the exact same as those rims, only they use lower quality materials, the design was stolen from the other guys, and he paid under 2 grand. When you see that guy's brand of rims cracked in a picture, don't you leap at him with "You get what you pay for!"?

1) That Varrosteon didn't crack, it separated completely from the barrel. I have never seen that before.
2) No wheel is indestructable, yes the a quality forged wheel will crack but you will still be able to drive home. |
