Oh, now we find out that he bent the fucking control arm. That's not a "minor" incident with a guardrail. OF COURSE the wheel broke if it got hit hard enough to bend the LCA. Those things aren't flimsy...

Yes they are, it only takes hitting it at the right angle. My friend hit a curb powered through shaving his xxr wheels pretty good, bent the LCA, and the wheel although beat up was fine. Swapped LCA and drove it home that night.

Yes marshall did wall ride , The wheels never hit the wall the hard( if at all) rear end of his car took all the damage.

I'm not saying this to defend rota/xxr/ or work, but people gotta stop making up excuses to flaunt their brand loyalty. A wheel is a wheel, hit it hard enough in the right spot it'll fucking break. I've seen almost any OEM (omgtehbest) wheel destroyed in any sort of way. There is no exception for work or any other wheel company.

If you hit somehting hard enough to bend the LCA you deserve to break the wheel. PERIOD... Who the fuck cares if an XXR somehow miraculously survived. The XXR probably weighed twice as much and hit at a different angle. I bet you that wheel was bent up to hell and not safe to drive on anyways. That Work DID NOT break like a Rota or any other wheel. It broke like a wheel that got rammed into a K-rail. That's COMPLETELY different...

Tasteless dumbfucks need to stop trying to justify their cheap-ass wheel purchases with retarded threads, heresay, and mis-information. There are a lot of reasons to buy a quality wheel rather than a cheap-o POS, none of those reasons are related to surviving a hit with a k-rail.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Hits a k-rail, cars totaled and expects rim to be salvageable? Make it better, its Work's casted wheels...

[ZacKisBacK_Fr]

^^ exactly what he said, those are not forged, you can see it where it's broken, so not very surprising!

/thread

[racepar1]

Wait a minute, let me get this straight.

Your buddy hit a K-rail and broke a wheel and somehow it's the wheel's fault???



Wheels aren't meant to hit stuff. If you hit stuff the wrong way any wheel can break, ESPECIALLY a lightweight wheel...

[OBEEWON]

I wanna see a picture of the K-Rail.
Made in Russia.
Why do we use K-Rails at drift events?
We should just use bouncy castles full of sex offenders.

Uh... yeah...


As for the rim what was he expecting?

One of these days when I have a the money to destroy a car and a rota and a work I will hit a curb straight on and see what happens. I doubt either one will fair very well.

[kingkilburn]

The only wheel that might stand up to that and still look like a wheel would be a hardcore steel wheel that weighs 40 pounds. I don't know what you or he was expecting.

[1quk240]

Posts' rant...not the response he was expecting...

How embarrassing for your buddy.

[Jfitzg38]

Pics of car and pics of k-rail.

[KOUKIboy]

Post pics of before and after or car please, wanna see the damage....

[kingkilburn]

Saving money on a new wheel is not worth the risk of micro fractures and a bent wheel.

[brndck]

judging by the photos he smacked that wheel pretty damn hard, why would you expect it to fare well??? its a cast wheel, not forged.

i've destroyed enkeis and panasports before. if you smash it into a curb or k-rail, shits gonna break. a k-rail is the better part of a TON of concrete. why would you expect a 25 lb wheel to survive??? Rotas are known for having this happen from POTHOLES.

your argumintz laks knowlidge. plz try agin l8r.

That about sums it up, and in a manner that the OP can perhaps understand...
