^ Never seen a quality forged wheel get damaged from a simple pothole. Furthermore, within my 7 years of driving in numerous states, I've yet to even hit a pot hole. I've always been able to avoid them. Maybe people should pay more attention and allow space in traffic to allow themselves room to avoid the hazards...
I'll gladly buy my $900/piece forged wheels for daily driving and occasional track use. Wheels can be fixed. I don't know why people act like they can't...
Some knockoff wheel that shatters into 3 pieces is done and can't be fixed. Sure the wheel itself only cost $150 but, hopefully the rest of the car didn't sustain additional damage to the wheel flying off. Yeah, there are legit wheels that are cast as well that have suffered similar damage as well. I've never seen a quality cast wheel just fully separate into two separate pieces though... A quality forged wheel that get a small bend in it can be fixed, re coated, and thrown back on the car. Sure it may cost $300+ to do it, but it's an option people seem to forget.
