Default forgestar rim cracked!

So today i was on my way to work when i felt a weird vibration from the left side of my car as i pulled over i notice i had a flat tire. After replacing it with the spare tire i looked at the rim and notice that it had two cracks inside the barrel! Wheels are about 2 years old can i still contact forgestars in regards to the wheel? I paid 1,500 for some wheels to crack on me that some BS

Just cause it has Forge in the name doesn't mean they are forged. Very common for cast wheels to crack on the inside when using low pro tires... Every time I see forgestars on clist for sale it's because they have MINOR fixable cracks.. lol See if Forgestar will replace and or allow you to buy just one then sell the complete set for some good used JDM or equivalent wheels. you can get something really nice and worthy for 1500 to 2k that will last and still be worth something down the line..

Contact this vendor and they might be able to get you a replacement:

A cracked forgestar should not be a surprise to anyone.

To add since it's Friday Avid.1 Wheels.

Just get it welded up on the inside of the barrel, it's not like you are running the 24 hours of LeMans, right???
