yeap **** happens and this has nothing to do with the quality of Chikara wheels if you think your volks can withstand that force hit a wall and find out! trust me i've had 3piece wheels before (iforged) and wheels are wheels to me..

this made me lol. but i would have to agree with g35ftmwf i have seen alot of high end wheels come out with just rash. looks like when those wheels broke apart it cause more damage to the car than the accident did.

I understand, but also, this rear left wheel was what took direct impact of the entire car. Every accident has its differences. This car went sideways and hit the wheel head on first. Its hard to say but if you tested another wheel with exact direct impact, most would crack if they are casted wheels. Casted wheels don't usually bend, they crack if the impact was that severe. The wheels have 2 major wheel certifications for strength and durability. They're only made to withstand roads. Potholes?.. No problem. Bumps? no problem. Curb? no problem. Losing control, spinning out and slamming into a wall rear corner first? sorry, the wheels will break!
