So what's the rest of the story? It didn't just hit an oil slick, what else did it hit? How fast?

SOLISIMO

He obviously crashed, the guy was with his family so speed was not a factor

This still doesn't say much unless we knew the conditions. I could take the best wheel in the world, and under the right circumstances, bust it like this.

I will never forget a few years ago when I was at the Petit LeMans and Audi prototype shredded a mesh wheel under acceleration (didn't even hit anything). The wheel looked exactly like this pic, with all of the mesh spokes broke. Would you say BBS was quality, I sure would.

Reps or not, wheels can break, under any condition. And just because one rep wheel breaks, it doesn't mean others do as well - same with higher quality wheels, just because one doesn't break, doesn't mean all others won't break.

SOLISIMO

Thats all the info I have, Ive investigated alot of traffic fatalities where the car was mangled, rolld over, etc.... I have never seen a rim do that. But I understand what your saying though

A brand name doesn't ensure high quality ALL the time.

Look closely. Does that say Ray's?



AND Enkei RPF1 wheel:





AND Gram Lights:





Anyone can post a pic of a busted wheel. Buy what you want and don't be an idiot and wreck it up. Problem solved. I'm not saying that a Ray's wheel is bad quality but I am saying that posting pictures of a busted wheel on the internet does not indicate the quality of the wheel.
