$600 is still pretty substantial however i still wouldn’t rock them. don’t sacrifice on wheels/tire/brakes i’m sure mike will let you know his thoughts when he sees them in person, if he says they’re okay id trust him ---

That wheel (judging by pictures only) is NOT safe. I’m not going to go over theory/explanation on here, but that is one step from looking like a destroyed Rota Grid on track day. I’ve seen the after math of running a wheel IDENTICAL to that. It’s hard to tell from the picture the extent of the inflection…but a dis-formity (forced or factory) like that mid barrel can leave you in a world of shit. -Private Pyle ---

well lets see here…the wheel now is deformed and will be less structually sound in the x direction and could fold up when in compression if the loads are high enough. i sure as shit wouldnt be doing any serious cornering. ---

Sell three make most if not all of your money back. Turn the fucked one into an end table or lamp or something I don’t know I’m not on that queer eye show. ---

something wasnt installed right or fell off while racing and dug/rolled a bead into the main structure into the wheel. eek man. ---

Yeah if that wheel goes while you’re driving you’ll be out more money than you saved on getting a partial refund. Not to mention potential for injury. ---

let me put it to you this way, would you drive around on 5 lugs even though the car was designed for 6? would you put a wheel on your car with a cracked spoke too? return them, get some new HRE wheels. ---

If I had access to a single 18x10 wheel right now, id grab it, because I dont, I choose to roll with it… Sbardy took the wheel to Kost to get balanced for me, while odd, when he asked if it was fucked, they laughed and didnt want to even balance it saying its fine to run… made them and it balanced perfect. Mike wood conqured that the wheel should be fine to run. ---
