Work wheels break like Rotas!!!! (pic inside)

Hitting a curb and bending a control arm isn't proof of anything. That doesn't prove if it's strong or weak. Also, what EXACTLY are you comparing strong and weak to? Is the LCA weaker than the subframe? DUH, of course it is. Is the LCA weaker than the factory rear toe arm? No, it's about 3 million percent stronger. It takes a significant hit to bend them. Just because your buddy didn't destroy the fuck out of the entire car doesn't mean it wasn't a significant impact as far as the control arm/wheel are concerned. He hit both the curb and the K-rail with SIGNIFICANT force. He was lucky in the fact that all that was damaged was the wheels and the LCA's.

In what manner am I flaunting brand loyalty in any way? All I am saying is that legit wheels and knockoffs are not equal. Rotas are not the same thing as the Volk's they copy. Can they perform a similar task with similar results, yes. They're both wheels and they both are round. The Volk simply deserves to be held in higher esteem because of what it is, besides the fact that there are technical arguments for superiority. There's nothing wrong with running cheap wheels, they do have their purposes. Trying to present them as equal is absolutely ridiculous though.

My point was, people need to stop judging WHEELS, that were in SERIOUS ACCIDENTS that BROKE. Because ANY WHEEL regradless of MANUFACTURER(hence my point on seeing just about every OEM wheel broken) will surely break UNDER THE RIGHT STRESS AND CIRCUMSTANCES. People need to stop COCKSWINGING their brand loyalty in these situation. IF you are in an accident and break a wheel, i don't want you to be surprised if your 50 dollar rota or 500 dollar Work broke. It was your fault not the wheel's.
My point with the XXR had nothing to do with XXR wheels. The point was the wheel suffered minor damage and the LCA was broken.
*Waits for you to get back from in-n-out to respond*

YOU ARE THE ONE JUDGING WHEELS THAT WERE IN SERIOUS ACCIDENTS THAT BROKE!!!

EVERYONE else is telling you that your comparison is pointless and your logic is flawed.

This is a total fucking troll thread. I originally THOUGHT you were trying to make some sort of legitamate point. Now I see you're just arguing and bitching pointlessly for attention. Apparently someone hurt your feewings trash talking your knockoff wheels and your pussy got all sore about it.

Again flaunting the loyalty
However i see you're back

My vagina is doing perfectly fine. You are in every thread whoring your elitism and "looking for attention." EVERYONE is not telling me anything, although i'm sure when Mike gets a free second, if you haven't already PM'd him for back up, he'll come running to your rescue.
Apparently you missed the point...

Works sucks since they most of their rims are cast.

I only roll forged aluminum, hoe.

Shit, I can't even tell you which Work rims are forged...Ray's is bestah since they roll with more forged shit than any other company.

Clearly, plastic is the way to go. I've bashed my Big Wheel into the curb a thousand times with nary a spot of damage.

SO MUCH LOGIC IN ONE THREAD

or
some Works wheels suck as much as Rotas,

ha ha,

go on!

[kingkilburn]

Why are you asses so stuck on Work wheels? They are ok wheels that are trendy in our scene. This isn't even on some fanboy shit you ignorant people just don't seem to know anything else but tire shop bargain bullshit and the handful of wheels the car magazines told you to buy.

If you want your wheels not to break:

1. Don't run into shit.

2. Don't use wheels known to break under hard driving with no impact.

3. Buy quality wheels so in case of impact you run a higher chance of not destroying them and have a better repair outlook if possible.

When is the last time you saw a completely wrecked circle track wheel that wasn't in a giant catastrophic rollover? When have you seen broken CCW center sections or even majorly bent rims?


If this guy smashed a cast work wheel like that ANY WHEEL would have been wrecked but a better quality wheel and a wheel not made of cast aluminum may have rolled away from the accident bent to shit.

This!!! Now someone please let this thread die already!

No, it's NOT normal for a wheel to break when you hit a k-rail.

That means it's a POS, ask "waxball88". Wait a minute, is it $88 or $0.88 to wax my balls? $88 seems expensive, better come with "extras" for that price...

[burgessn]

Dude were does everyone get all the hate for Rota's wheels? i use to live in th UK and everyone rocked rota wheels even alot of really high horsepower cars and never had any problems. y would you buy 3k dollar wheels and then beat the pis out of them on the track rotas are bad ass wheels for the price.. STOP HATING ON ROTA!!!

[amfh403]

Why doesn't everyone with legit wheels just ignore people who own fake wheels. They think it works and its totally safe. I personally would not rock fake wheels but just live with it, those people who actually spend money on their car don't need to impress other people or prove a point (Let R&D from top companies do the talking). Just build your car with quality parts and forget if a bunch of kids get mad about it. Natural selection will take out the people with cheap shit in their cars that race. It's called "Darwin's law of Natural Selection" with a hint of stupid.

PS: Drifting is sorta like an exception from all kinds of motorsports, you drift into a wall at 60 miles an hour somethings gonna break regardless.

Who the hell wastes their time with metal wheels? That shit is child's play
