I highly advise against this knock off LM. A very poor quality cast wheel that will shatter if subjected to potholes and other normal driving.. Simply CRAP! I have seen failures but the splitting shown below is due to the thin wall , one piece casting that is pure garbage. Look at the final image as well... The pierce bolts are also fake, as expected and the barrels on the rim are paper thin to save materials and keep cost down! Do yourself and the world and your precious passengers a favor...
DUH!

i can see the rims have seen the kerb in the first picture, the lip bent out near the crack.
do u think that cause the premature damage?
i like the LM style but i cant afford $1200+ per rim.

any suggestion??

There is only one suggestion. Find wheels that are original and designed to fit the RL. There simply is no other route that makes sense.
