Fwiw, we implemented a batch of our "normal" casted wheels tested as part of falken's drift program under another brand name for the past 5 years... Zero cracks zero breakage... Zero shatter... These all under drifting conditions that involve wall scraping, chassis hitting scenarios... No mat, no flow forming, just a good ol gravity casted aluminum wheels... The very same wheels from 5 years ago were used on Darren McNamara's s15 last year... Zero problems... So while its entirely possible there are some cast wheels out there with inferior casting, don't be scared of cast wheels because its been used for the best part of the past 40 years.
