Cracked Rockstar Rim

***mattpopp*** · 10-03-2008, 12:08 PM

So yep, I have a cracked Rockstar Rim. I know somebody out there will say it is because I hit something. NO, its not from that. Because of where its at and its a hair line crack. If I would have hit something I would have tire damage. But the Crack in in the barrel of the rim, between two of the spokes and about a inch back from where the pretty finish stops. I will try to get a couple of pictures on here Monday. Even the guys that are warranting it for me said this is a fault from when it was made that its not from hitting something or abuse.

Anybody else have a XD Series Rim fail?

that could have been alot of things. could have been an inclusion in the wheel or from some one not paying attention. it's nothing to worry about though. i wouldn't say it happens enough to get conserned. those wheels are casted right?
