Pothole + Varrstoen BBS Replica = Massive Fail

You get what you pay for but then again to replace them is less costly but why put your life in danger rocking shiit wheels.

That same "shiit" wheel are used on AMS Performance's 1100whp+ drag car and many other competitive Time Attack cars. There is a tremendous amount of torque placed on the wheel while that car launches (9 second car that cuts sub 1.4 60ft's). Then again it's not as much force as the wheel sees when it slams sideways in to a curb like on that Integra you have pictured



Based on your "logic" though, Ferarri shouldn't put their customers lives in danger by "rocking shiit wheels"
