Sorry to hear about the weel. Those look like old ADRs? Not sure.

those a re a knock off of the Maya/Trafficastar DTM. There are quite a few companies that make them... the first I know off the top of my head is Axis.

Also, I wouldn't exactly blame the rim in this case. It looks like you hit a pothole whether you noticed it or not.

BBS is one of the strongest in the open market if not the strongest.

iForged...wheels are ok...design are unoriginal and customer service is less than desirable

There is actually a member here who bent an HRE wheel, so no wheel is immune.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune, take it to a reputable wheel repair shop and they should have it good as new.

See if yuou can have them repaired. In Cali they repair anything and for a good price too. Might take a few weeks but it'll be cheaper than a new set and way less time too.

too bad about your wheel. i cracked two aluminum wheels with my old volvo due to rochester, ny potholes. This place repairs wheels: http://www.wheelcollision.com/. Unfortunately they couldn't help me with my wheels because the damage was too severe but they were able to sell me OEM replica replacements.

this guy i talked to . he cracked more than 3 oem 17 wheels. he has no idea why, he took it back to lexus dealer and replaced them with no problem, but he cracked it again afterwards. He said there's no way he hitted anything that could of caused that, and was told by the dealer that his " erratic driving" caused it. He's so frustrated. i told him it could be his suspension. may be blown shocks or bend arms??
