      That is what I just said out load too. OK so I am guessing this would be not what to buy mostly if you want to track your car to the track. I can not belive that. I would be talking off tomarrow to be talking with Rota about them paying to fix my car.

      FWIW, I have Rota Tarmacs on my car, and have never had a
      problem. They haven't seen an autocross, but they have seen
      the Tail of The Dragon and a couple other misadventures.
      Obviously, those pictures present a very nasty problem. Ouch!

      Dammit, I was considering to get them.
      I think I heard somewhere that the slipstreams had the same problem, anybody got a say at this?

      There have been a ton of threads about this on other forums. It happened during an autoX event. I believe the wheels somehow developed a stress crack and the aluminum oxidized........and the wheel just gave, under the exteme stress that is put on the wheels during an autoX. Rota fixed the problem, so I do not think that this will happen again. I believe this was a freak accident as well.

      i have rotas myself and have taken them on a road course and nothing is the matter with them. even forged wheels will bend/break according to abuse.

      ouch.

      As far as "abuse" goes, aren't these wheel marketed to those of us who would "abuse" them in this manner?
