Also - if any wheels were just failing under load they'd be PLASTERED over the car forums. Remember the warped Rota?

Thanks guys... real world info is priceless (for those of who you spend hours reading "facts" online). Whatever the construction method is, these wheels are strong, in the fact people track them, beat on them and they haven't failed because of a design flaw.
I actually hold race licenses, been around real race tracks (not empty k-mart parking lot on a Saturday night @ 3am w/neon lights on my civic) and have seen countless more people running "gravity cast" wheels like Rota, XXR, Enkei's than these high $$$$, superior construction, blinged out wheels. I have yet to ever see first hand, or read online of an XXR, ROTA, whatever gravity cast wheel fail under normal/track driving.... so please.... put your wheel design knowledge in your backpack, and penis's back in your shorts and debate the facts in your own thread, por favor :happy0180:
