From what Ive seen these "reports" (and I use the term loosely) always seem to start....
I was drifting toward a curb so put the power down to come out and I only slightly clipped the curb and LOOK!!
or
I hit ht tiniest of potholes and look what happened!
The truth is more likely: "I drifted like a propper nob straight into the curb at full pace, and rather than admit I cant drift for @*!#, and was acting like a dick on the public roads, Id rather say it was just a minor clip and it was the wheels that gave way too easily"
or
I was driving without due car and attention, didn't notice the crater in the road marked clearly by a cone, and drove straight into it. Id rather blame it on poor wheels and jump on the nearest bandwagon than admit Im driving with my eyes shut.
or
I paid four times as much for similar styled and weighted wheels from Volk, and I wish to remain a brand whore, so I will cry foul at every opportunity if a company produces wheels of a similar design, weight and quality for far less.
