All in all I've had my Grids for ~20,000 miles now, and they're no worse than any other wheel I've driven on for that long. Only thing that's suspect is the overall quality of the casting since I had some issues getting them balanced properly. Our theory was that there are some voids in the wheel (bubbles) from the casting process that make the wheels essentially impossible to balance perfectly.

honestly man not really tryin' to be a dick about it but that doesn't seem like it could cause a potentially serious safety issue? I would think improperly balanced wheels could put undue stress on hubs and studs and potentially lead to failures.Not only that but doesn't that create a much greater chance of cracks and splits? I'm not an engineer but it would make sense if it were true.
if anything send those pos's back and make Rota replace them. sounds like a potentially serious defect. I know Rota sent a replacement to that guy that managed to rotate the spokes inside the barrels on a set he was using for drifting. It's worth an email at least.
