    Tire Rack house brand. Good looking and cheap - if not a bit easy to break. Been through a few here at the shop.

    Break or bend? I've seen lots of bent wheels but very few break and I might add, they all bend easily!

    Mostly bend but we have had a couple with some chunks gone (from impact of course) . Still a great value at the money.

    I agree. Have a set for my rains, two got broken by the armco at VIR, they didn't really bend so much as just crack, but I suspect it was a decent hit (someone else in the car).

    There was an older version of these wheels, can't think of the name on them, but it is NLA and replaced by the TR Motorsports. They behave the same, I broke one via being punted.

    Just remember wheels are a "wear item". They need to be checked often and replaced much more frequently than most do.......

    and even really good wheels only cost ABOUT AS MUCH as tires. most are less per corner, many far less. do it soon. especially if you are in ITB...
