That tire was fucking GONE.

EDIT: Shit, Forgestar is actually pretty reputable. Must have been crazy worn down over time.

phoenx · 04-11-2016, 03:36 PM

His reaction lol. Glad he didn't get hurt.

eflatminor · 04-11-2016, 03:45 PM

On the other hand, he's got himself a high performance rototiller.

Doesn't forgestar always have the crack problem?

Eh.... Not really. Not from what I've seen around many forums.

Not sure about always but this is not the first time this has happened.

Holy fuck. Although I've seen pics of stock Z06 wheels do this.

PoorLurker · 04-11-2016, 08:40 PM

He should have gotten some real Rotas.

EL Jeffe 5 · 04-12-2016, 03:24 PM

so who gets to pay for damage on his car?

Aatish · 04-12-2016, 03:28 PM

Lol, I hope those are cheap.

That looks like a relatively low cycle fatigue failure.

Dekansnowman · 04-12-2016, 06:06 PM

So, do the wheels have a warranty? Because I really like these wheels, but don't want to become died on the freeway with my daughters in the backseat if these things go plaid.

P1 · 04-12-2016, 06:29 PM

And that's why you don't buy #yolo wheels. Just imagine if he'd have had ADV.1s...

///M Guy · 04-12-2016, 07:27 PM

I hate when this happens.

ASAP · 04-12-2016, 07:29 PM

Are these cast wheels?

His reaction reminds me of this:

Forgestars are "rotary forged" so yes, the faces are cast, then they forge out the barrel. Thats why the face is what failed. I ran Forgestars on my 370z, but I checked them frequently for just this as I knew it could happen to any cast wheel.
