Anyone with aftermarket wheels that cracks or bend?

Anyone here, after having replaced their OEM alloy wheels with aftermarket brands of wheels, are having problems like cracked, bent or split alloy wheel? I am in the market for wheels & don't want to make errors in selecting poor quality wheels, being that there are so many out in the market now. Any info furnished will be highly appreciated. Please add photos if you have them.

I have Linea Corse Lemans and one of my wheels just cracked.

The lamest thing is that they didn't have any inventory when I called them this week.

8-10 weeks out was the estimation which was not an attractive turnaround time.

Any wheel can crack or bend. It depends on road condition, driving style, design of wheel, and tire size.

I prefer Rays/Work/Advans/Motegis/Enkie......I wouldn't touch Rotas.

Thanks. Ever heard of Kyowa Designs? I am eyeing at those Trek 10 w/ Mass Lips. But when I emailed the manufacturer about their warranty, they had been quite for the past few days. Wondered why?

Ive heard of them. Not really a fan. I like to stick with the well known staples in the wheel industry.

Yeah actually it is because I sold my stockies so now I'm on public trans! Woohooo!

Now I got to borrower a set of wheels from a friend in the interim but thanks anyways.

I think you do get what you pay for.
