Cracked rim

So, i like to drive fast(90-100),sometimes RIDICULOUSLY FAST(120-130).
I noticed when i was washing my car i had a crack on one of my rims. On a closer inspection a second spoke was beginning to crack. What would you do? Here is a picture of the rims i have on my car:

Get a new rim...if you like to speed like that, I would recommend getting a new one and slow the **** down. You'll kill someone let alone yourself.

why would you buy another rim when one is cracking (a sign of poor-quality, cheapo wheels).

Better advice: go buy a new set of QUALITY wheels from a well-known manufacturer, not this tuner junk....

Quality cost MONEY! I would love to have a set of $5000 volks on my car but i cant afford that. thanks for the advice tho. Hopefully the set of Motegis will be better, plus there is a lifetime structural warranty on them.


check this out.. it shows how rays wheels are actually made:

You don't have to spend $5000 on Volks. I sold my 18" Volks w/ tires for $1450.

why 18*8 with a 45 offset.

You can go wider and go with a lower offset.
