but please, share more Knowledge with us.

I've worked in the wheel industry for 5+ years. I've worked closely with various wheel manufactures over the years and have a lot of knowledge regarding manufacturing, R&D, sales/marketing of wheels, etc.. I have no ties to Varrstoen wheels but you can't judge a wheels quality based on one picture floating around the internet..

You, like many others, assume a wheel holding together in one piece after a given impact equates to it's quality. This is true but only to a certain extent.. If I posted pictures of Advan Wheels, Work Wheels, Enkei Wheels, etc.. with the spokes separated from the barrel would you say they are an inferior wheel?
