And no I did not say straight over a curb, as I clearly stated before it can be any type of angle with a front wheel.

Get off your high horse and accept we don't know the exact situation that led to the failure. I know you are a wheel ***** and love 4k+ wheels, but at least acknowledge it doesn't have to be a huge defect with the wheel to cause that damage. Who knows what this person really did? I doubt they would tell us the truth if they were doing something that would prohibit any possibility of a warranty because of their actions.

Go throw your wheel at a curb, measure it then come back. I've spent a lot of time at the track and seen a lot of cars kiss the wall. The wheels ALWAYS come back with a foot of destruction no matter what angle they hit it. Like really in all sarcasm aside, picture a car skidding diagonally into a curb and see where the wheel will hit... now what are you arguing?

Varrstoen doesn't offer a warranty on their shitty wheels so.... no he is telling the truth. He learned his lesson, don't buy shitty knock off wheels. This IS a defect with the wheel as there are multiple repeats of this exact same thing happening to the same Chinese made wheels.

You're just standing up for the wheel company that you have on your car. Stop being a whiny nancy when people cut up fake wheels.

If we actually had a solid story and if it happened multiple times to the same wheels (not just trying to compare any non-forged style wheels), then I would be perfectly content saying there was an actual defect.

Also it didn't necessarily have to happen like at a track, this person could have been making a turn and kissed the curb at a point a bit too hard. Like I said before, we really don't know how this happened and what led up to it.

And you can try to compare varr wheels to linea's, etc. but I have yet to see solid evidence suggesting any of these brands come from the same factory.

On the side, I know you helped me in the past and that you have helped many others. But that shouldn't be an excuse to be able to make rash conclusions without knowledge of how this individual mishap occurred, or any other instances with this wheel, or even brand.
