Wait a minute, let me get this straight.
Your buddy hit a K-rail and broke a wheel and somehow it's the wheel's fault??? ![]() ![]() ![]() Wheels aren't meant to hit stuff. If you hit stuff the wrong way any wheel can break, ESPECIALLY a lightweight wheel... ![]() |

I wanna see a picture of the K-Rail.
Made in Russia. Why do we use K-Rails at drift events? We should just use bouncy castles full of sex offenders. Death Row: "It's a party till someone bangs out." |

As for the rim what was he expecting? One of these days when I have a the money to destroy a car and a rota and a work I will hit a curb straight on and see what happens. I doubt either one will fair very well.

The only wheel that might stand up to that and still look like a wheel would be a hardcore steel wheel that weighs 40 pounds. I don't know what you or he was expecting.

Oh, now we find out that he bent the fucking control arm. That's not a "minor" incident with a guardrail. OF COURSE the wheel broke if it got hit hard enough to bend the LCA. Those things aren't flimsy...

Well, in Works defense, didnt BlackzenkiS14 drift slammed his rear end at 60mph into a k-rail? He shifted the whole trunk and shattered his rear windows and his Work Equips survived. Those rims are on his new S14 IIRC.

judging by the photos he smacked that wheel pretty damn hard, why would you expect it to fare well??? its a cast wheel, not forged.
i've destroyed enkeis and panasports before. if you smash it into a curb or k-rail, shits gonna break. a k-rail is the better part of a TON of concrete. why would you expect a 25 lb wheel to survive??? Rotas are known for having this happen from POTHOLES. your argumintz laks knowlidge. plz try agin l8r. |
