S55...they are not the ones that were re-called and I have had my rims for almost year and half if not longer. I dont think its anything to do with that bad batch they had...I think I just hit the pot hole at the exact right spot.

From that one pic, it looks like another s55 that cracked. Seems like the other sevas models are doing ok though. Such a shame since s55 are relatively light. Goes to show that light and cast wheels don't go together too well.

luckily about 25-30mphs...I think it was slow enough to hit the hole hard...
