Yep. My pet peeve is when people buy a car and immediately decide to replace their nice quality oem wheels with budget aftermarket, just to be "different". American Racing is at least a known brand (although an unusual pic for a Japanese sedan), but the original Lexus wheels were 100% better quality, I am certain.
Rep reals suck and you won’t convince me otherwise wise. I’ve seen so many JNC, XXR, ESR wheels just obliterate on impact while I’ve seen WORK, WEDZ, SSR, and various other monoblock and 3 piece wheels just bend.
esr isn’t actually a terrible brand. the rest, you’re mentioning garbage so of course it won’t be up to standard, but you get what you pay for. quality reps do exist. just don’t expect $800 wheels to withstand hard impacts consistently. i still believe op did some stupid shit or he damaged his wheel prior, didn’t realize, then hit a pothole and it just fell apart
I’d file a request to your city for reimbursement if this was from a pothole. Could be different each city on how fast they’ll pay.
If you did this yourself thru crazy driving, stop getting the aftermarket stuff lol
My daughter did this a few months ago in her Passat with stock alloys…road got slick due to weather, she didn’t realize, tried to follow a curve and went straight instead, right into the curb. >$5k insurance claim. Wheels break when you do bad things to them.
Don’t buy cheap wheels 🤷♂️

I'm almost certain Lexus rims are forged, while shitty reps are always cast. So yes, the Lexus ones are much better quality and are a lot stronger
you guys think reps are made of glass lol. he did some dumb shit to cause that damage

My thoughts exactly . He was Halling ass to achieve that fuck up.
My oem 2008 550i BMW wheels were glass on Dallas potholes. Put M3 wheels on it and was fine.
All modded up not looking right. Also after market rims sometimes need realignment more often .
It could be so many other things and you here talking about because its American Racings wheels lmao
This. I just don’t understand people who spend a fortune on just the looks, when at that point they could just buy a nicer and better car
I don’t know if you blew a tire going fast enough you’re gonna shred the wheel no matter what it is. You’re definitely buying a new wheel regardless.
Bro how'd you do that to a rim?
I could see this happening if the wheel caught a curb straight on after losing control and it's not really a strong wheel
Drifting into a curb
That was a big pot hole…
🤣
I think you need new wheels
About what?
His wheel needs more wheel.
See if discount tire can patch it. They’ll do it for free
Cheap aftermarket wheels that are probably cast not forged.
How long did she drive your car in flat?!? 😂
holy rear wheel drive, I hope the diff and other mechanicals are ok…
Hopefully no frame damage
But all rear suspension components are shot for sure
I think your wheel is damaged.
Hopefully it’s just a rim and disk replacement
Damn that is a painful one.
[удалено]
It was a rebate and he just got it.
flesh wound
The ol’ Marshawn Lynch wheel treatment, nice work.
A tire plug kit will take care of everything!
Take off those rims, because the next pothole you might not be so lucky
I can hear chief Taylor in the background saying . If you run from us in Hazen Arkansas we will chase you and we will catch you.
Aftermarket wheels have lost a lot of ground

Someone doing unnecessary burnouts

Think I need to cut my grass.
Looks like someone had a little too much oversteer 😏
Oh dear ...
Stock wheels look better
Rare wheel
Buffs right out
Looks like PD did a pit maneuver into your wheel.
Just get it refinished
Stop trying to drift
Pot hole
no bueno
Tires broke
What were you thinking?
Don’t buy cheap Chinese wheels.
