So my argument stands as well. If you NEVER seen an OEM Porsche BBS or any BBS wheel cracked, then you haven't been here long enough.

Ok I guess you can say I havn't been around Porsches for too long (3+ years). I guess Porsche wheels do/can crack, as with any other CAST BBS wheel. There are plenty of cracked BBS CH's.. etc.

I have yet to see a One piece forged BBS crack in any form.
I daily drive more than 40,000 a year, and have been riding on BBS RGR on two of my dailys in the past 3 years both on RGR's.
My non-dailys have BBS also.

I run through harsh roads of LA, and I don't exactly baby my cars.

my wheels are still Perfect.

My friends who have bought Forgestars were very disappointed with the quality of wheels as they didn't even last 10,000 miles of LA driving.

So 120,000 miles of consistent riding on Forged BBS with 0 problems or cracking two wheels in 10,000 miles on the SAME roads..

I think that says something.
I'm not trying to bash on anyone who runs cheap or replica wheels.

Just trying to inform those who haven't spent their money yet.
