Anyone have the link on Viper forum? I was talking to a buddy about this, he said nothing on Audi forum is believe. Even the picture is right there. He just won't believe it.

 

does the owner drive this car to the track or is it towed to the track?
if it's towed how is it normally strapped to the trailer/tow bed?

 

I don't think that it is fair to say that any single picture can condemn any wheel manufacturer.

As a lot of other people have previously said, there are a lot of mitigating circumstances when it comes to the durability of the wheels. I don't think that this picture is a very good indicator of wheel durability.

Kinesis supplies a lot of wheels to different teams who run the 24hr of LeMans, so I don't think that durability is an issue with a lot of their wheels.

I have seen numerous F1 wheels suffer similar failures, and I am pretty sure that the tolerances on those wheels surpass everything else in the wheel industry.

It is still scary to see though.

OMGJUSTLIKEROTAWTFBBQ!

seriously people. one wheel failure out of how many track events with cars running kinesis? Even the best wheel brand is going to fail eventually.

 

Thats a nasty break in the wheel.
