Super dangerous and perfect example of why for $250-500 more per set you should consider even cast enkei/work/gram lights over rota or china brands.
Is there conclusive evidence that knock off brands (rota, xxr, etc) are dangerous? I see a lot of statement as "fact", but not much evidence. Also what conditions would you say cause such failures?
