Oh Snaps!!! (Literally)......Rota inside
So, a kid on the local forum here in Idaho posted this pics of his Rota from yesterday or the day before. Here is his description as well:
"It was sliding *** end towards light pole, but i had to floor it to bring my front end around to save my rear quarter panel, and smack shattered the wheel!"

No, his wheel actually hit the curb. I think he avoided the pole.

I have broken an oem toyota wheel nearly that bad by hitting a pot hole. If you hit something hard enough in the right spots it will bend or break.

So it shattered instead of bending/cracking to the point of being useless anyway... Whats the difference.

Weather affects the wheel also, as well as the rest of the car, I thing some of the rota's look nice but still debating if id buy me a set, Id only sport the look NO fast and Furious Drifting though...

I love how all these broken rota pictures and stories I see posted on the interweb involve the driver smashing into hard objects at speed... What sort of outcome were you expecting?
