I just got a note regarding the Forgestar wheels, from a vendor.
I must say he has valid arguments...

Concerned over a cracked wheel? I would be more concerned over these cracked wheels here. HRE wheels typically cost $8,000+, so just imagine how these guys feel:

Here's an ADV.1 Wheel, these wheels usually range between $9,000-$14,000 for a set:

The point that I'm getting across is any person can hit a pothole and destroy a wheel, I've destroyed HRE wheels in the past that I didn't intend to like I mentioned in my last email. The funny thing about this industry and forums is that you never here the happy and good stories. I've had customers call me up after they just got into major accidents, to find to their astonishment that their Forgestar wheels didn't break. It depends on the situation, and if you beat up on a wheel hard enough and long enough, yeah of course it'll crack, but even the best wheels crack. Keep that in mind.

Best Regards ..."
