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?
Dan this wheel is garbage, you and I both know it.

The original BBS design was never meant to be a one-piece cast wheel and now looked what happens. I would bet as people start using these wheels the problems will start showing up more often.

Sevas wheels were cool too for awhile and eventually as more people started buying them all the issues started and eventually they were put out of business.
