So what. One Kinesis wheel fails on a high horsepower car at the track. Happens all the time to BBS, OZ, Fikse and others.



A quote from the owner of the wheels:
"My Porsche tech (the famous two-time LeMans winner) stated that he has seen many, many BBS wheels break under race conditions similar to mine. Peter Stacy of Kinesis stated that he never had this type of failure before, even in race cars"

I watched an OZ center hub fail on an R8 at Petit LeMans a couple years ago. It does happen.

I'm calm... I know you were just trolling for shock value.

Public Service Announcement:

If anything, I think this is a good reminder for all of us to check the wheel integrity (small hairline cracks) closely before each track event.
