Stop infesting his bullshit posts on Zilvia as we already know he's an idiot.

Lmfao, not an S-chassis, but this shit is too funny

Some stance scene "car girl" put these ugly ass perforated wheels on her car, they broke (duh, look at that shitty design), and now she and the wheel company are in a pissing match over who is more stupid.

Quick release bumper because reasons


lol shocker, and while driving thru a parking lot no less


Basic bitch to the max


Dirtiest her hands have ever been

[Initial Drift]

Besides the fact that those wheels look like shit, the design looks like it was meant to break going over 60 MPH and that it was cast (in relation to that design and price paid for the wheels)....

She spent $4k for those? I feel like that's the biggest part of her DIW.

[deolio]

lol i was reading that post today. as soon as i saw the quick release bumper shitt i knew i was in for a literary ride

[silviaks2nr]

The only people dumb enough to buy wheels like that are owners of stanced 5 year old or newer fwd egg cars.

[dizzariot]

Yeah dude all these American companies popping up and selling shit for like $3k - $4k and because people are 'different' they refuse to spend half that on the brands that have been around forever.

Basic Level: Bitch/Fuccboi

I'm sorry I haven't been contributing pictures. I screenshot shit and take pictures of cars on base all the time but I can't bring myself to upload them.

[derass]

lol what is engineering?

and those bumper things are the worst

i also like how the lips of the wheels are filthy. clearly haven't been cleaned in weeks. way to take care of your $4k wheels. that's DIW right there

4K for low pressure cast wheels. FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS.

The only issue here is that they didn't shatter while she was doing 80 down a back road. As shitty of a company they look to be, their responses are awesome. "Warranty voided from camber/stretch"
Read as: "fuck off."

I wouldn't mind spending $4k for forged wheels or any of the tried and true "everybody has them " wheels because I know I'm getting quality. I seriously wonder how people get their money and how they are so willing to easily part with it.

[snorkelcoupe]

Wheel ingenuring at it's finest.

This thread is great. <3

that's 'cause they don't actually pay for them, probably "rent to buy them", take a personal loan, "borrow" money from parents or some other shit. Idiots.

[landins13]

Stop feeding into her BS, judging by the scars on her wrists she feeds on attention.

[driftsucky]

Her thread was my favorite thread on Friday. The amount of trolling was vanglorious.

[undesiredshoe]

I decided to do an FEA analysis on this wheel and here's what I got....Highest stress in the same area..... I think I'll stick with my Panasports...

[Malik]

well done, that was fast.

how did u get the 3d model, did you make it or find it.

I think thats interesting.

[Initial Drift]

Seriously. I am quite interested in this too! That's a great tool for anyone doing structural fab work or design.

Plus that model...

[jaysgottaredtop]

Lol, congrats on already doing more analysis than the manufacturer.

Info on model, chosen material properties, applied loads, etc?

[undesiredshoe]

I made the model with Creo 3, anyone with a basic understanding of CAD can easily recreate this. Also, don't take this analysis too seriously as I did it quickly before bed and just used basic settings.

[Initial Drift]

Even if this was a quick mock up, it still shows a design flaw.

I honestly doubt that the company did anything remotely as extensive considering the wheel looks dangerous before you even see that it was a cast face.

I couldn't imagine the carnage that would have happened if that wheel broke while driving on the freeway at 80 MPH or drifting on a track.

This is just in my opinion and I do not have an engineering degree but this feels more like common sense than anything.

Not necessarily. There's always going to be a point with the highest stress. The question is if the stress at that point is higher than what the material can handle. Certainly this wheel is no where near optimized since there is so much material under very little stress. But I'd call that poorly designed or having the wrong priorities (style and price rather than weight and strength) rather than an actual flaw. But that's all assuming the model isn't 100% accurate.

Surprised anyone would buy that monstrosity for any purpose

[jumpman2334]

do ya'll have any idea how many Michael kors bags and starbucks drinks you can buy with 4 grand?


with that said, it looks like there has been more research done in one post (in the DIW thread, nonetheless) then art in motion has done for that model of wheel. btw, what kind of dumb name for a wheel company is that?

I don't put ANYHTHING past people today. Common sense or any sense seems to not exist. Just think of that troll who shalt not be named anymore. Prime example of that kind of thing.

While I agree with you on that, I would still consider this to be a flaw given that the materials chosen and method of production did not hold up to the stress exerted. Which they would have been able to observe if they had done extensive R&D. We can see that the R&D they did, if any, was insufficient given that there is a failure in a real life application. I honestly wish that all those small connecting points broke at once.... would have made it even better. But that clean break all around the lug nuts was still amusing.

Last post from me about this...I guess it's still DIW but I'd rather see this thread get back on topic.

I redid the analysis using the same material and forces for each wheel just to keep it even....even though the latter two use way superior materials. I also used the same scale for all three wheels to make it easier to compare. The top number on the scale shows the max amount of stress, the latter two wheels don't even reach the end of the scale.

Feel free to share these pictures so maybe more people will start DIR instead of DIW.
