Well i went out to wash my wheels and saw that my rear wheel at FOUR broke spokes. they split right in half. has anyone heard of this happening. the wheels are 15 months old.

Cheap cast wheels...Seen MANY broken wheels on track cars, common denominator is there are all mass produced cheap wheels. This doesnt include the occurrences where busted wheels were inevitable.

I don't mean to downplay the seriousness of this (or validity of your statement) but I also want to point out that many, arguably most, of the aftermarket wheels out there are cast, but some are better than others. I hope this gets sorted out by XD.

I should have put an emphasis on cheap.
