Saw this on a local G35 coupe today. (not mine!) Front passenger side wheel. Car is never raced or tracked at all...just easy, normal, daily driving.

Scary part is, the owner had no idea! Can you guess what kind of wheels they are?

stern?

 

iforged?

 

+1

 

sterns or sevas.

 

looks like sevas

 

+2

 

i vote ruff racing?

 

they are sevas

 

That’s a serious crack. I am sure that under the right circumstances you can damage any wheel.

 

maybe iforged they are known to crack on race circuits.

 

I agree. The dude must have slapped a pothole pretty hard or something.
(or they were chromed improperly?)

 

Nothing against the OP of course but why do people seem to have the impression that tracking a car does or could do more harm than the street.

I've seen lots of people that post cracked wheels and say car had never been tracked or raced and this happend (cracked pic posted).

Potholed streets at posted speed limits, are much harder on wheels than a typical race track at 150 mph.

 

dont think its the right center cap, i think its sevas

 

Soooo what's the answer??

 

i'm going to go with stern or rota's.

 

Rota?? do they make chrome too?


OP can u update more info?

 

YES!! (napolean dynomite) nailed it with the sevas.

def. not iforged, the bolts in the wheels are for looks and it is not a true 3 piece.

 

Because it's true. Aside from an impact (pothole, curb, another car, etc...) race duty puts a wheel under much more stress than any aggressive street driving, and for a much more prolonged period of time. This particular wheel has no visible bends....not even any serious curb rash.
