wheel damage

[InDaShop]

aren't theirs cast vs. billet. Same as Racelines, hence why it shattered. Walkers or Trailreadys which will bend or tear.

I would be embarrassed to ask the manufacture to do anything on that wheel.

That's right. Here's a description from http://www.filthymotorsports.com/KMC_Enduro_Beadlocks_p/fm-kmcenduro.htm

To accommodate professional and amateur off-road racers alike, KMC managed to reduce the price of the wheels while maintaining strength by casting them from a superior aluminum alloy. This unique combination of manufacturing and high quality materials results in a wheel that is strong enough for professional racing, but well within the budget of weekend wheelers.

the wheel did bend and crack

the main break is just odd

if they tell me to take a hike, that's fine. but it's hard to get answers when you can't hardly get anyone on the phone. i don't expect them to replace it but a good price on a new wheel isn't unreasonable i don't think.

That is an extreme break. If a company is selling offload racing wheels I believe the company should give some kind of discount at least. I own an ac business and I I represent a certain brand I would try to help out any way I could to atleast make a good name for myself. After madram's response how many people do you think that will influence to pay a few more dollars to buy a wheel with a good background. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!! :****:

I know these are cast wheels but is there a weld in the middle? That is a really straight break.

X2 on that. I am surprised you real didn't have any other major damage to speak of.

no welded seam, thats why i think the center break is a flaw in the wheel. it was a hard hit but not enough to break a wheel in half. i know the hit on the rock looks pretty bad but the diff and ram mount hit also.
