A team member of ours was on his way to his birthday dinner with his family while driving in the rain and he hit an oil patch and lost control.

I honestly HAVE NEVER seen this happen to wheels besides Rotas. Geeoh be careful man because he said he wasnt speeding at all and it shattered to pieces.

Holy Fock that looks scarcy.. Even in the craziest of accidents, wheels bend a little maybe crack if insane but this? Just looks like someone with a Sledge Hammer had some free time

Doesn't surprise me at all. What do you expect from $1000 cast rims?

Everyone out there that has cast wheels should not expect the wheel to hold up in any hard impacts. I work as an operation manager and found out that cast is not that strong when impacted. I would contact the seller and get a replacement. Sorry for your lose.

how much does it cost to fix a bent rim?
At $250 a wheel, replacing it doesn't sound as bad as getting a bent rim fixed.

Note to self: Don't get into accidents, and/or drive in the rain.

Hope the driver was ok.
