wow! SCARY! Makes me want to go out and inspect my wheels.

 

You have nothing to worry about

 

Jim probably needs to inspect his Spoon wheels.

 

Good thing mine are Japanese authentic

 

Japanese made doesn't make a difference, any cast wheel has the potential to crack like this. Someone in that thread even has a picture of a cracked CE28 (they're forged), which I've never seen before.

 

Any wheel has the potential to crack, well except maybe carbon fiber wheels. Those would probably delaminate in addition to fracture.

 

I wonder if or how often pro teams replace their wheels. I know of atleast one car in the continental series that runs ZE40's. Most of the JGTC/Super GT cars back in the day ran one off TE37's, they were part magnesium.




Funny to think some of the high end GT race cars run on Motegis

 

Took this at Daytona, think they belong to the Compass 360 Audi. these look pretty new.
