Rota’s certainly blow cock in terms of quality so anything is possible 😛 ---

heat COULD explain it. It would have to be pretty extreme amounts, but if it was a long session, it could be possible. Stupid to run rotas in this situation though. A 500hp racecar on Drag Radials should NOT be running rota wheels. ---

A 500hp racecar on Drag Radials should NOT be running rota wheels. Aluminum (/alloys) actually becomes less ductile with increasing temperatures. ---

> [@RedGoober4Life](#): > > Aluminum (/alloys) actually becomes less ductile with increasing temperatures. depends on a lot of factors, but that is not a straight forward answer, could it happen, yes, did it? Who knows EDIT: their website doesn’t even list material EDITx2: :lol: Linea Corse are made by Rota… wow I guess the latest BMW wheel trend is still shitty as hell EDITx3: after some research they use [MatWeb - The Online Materials Information Resource](http://www.matweb.com/search/DataSheet.aspx?MatGUID=8f56dbfa35554690a2c3aaf7f89e7d69&ckck=1) ---

the wheel design has just as much to do with it as the material or manufacturing process ---
