cracked a volk wheel!
5 Attachment(s)
I've owned rotas, oz racing, enkei,s etc.
the only wheel that cracks on me is a volk?! I didn't even drive on them hard- i just commute daily to work. its a crack right in the middle of one spoke- not repairable now it goes into the track and i have a set of 3 volk LE28n wheels that will be almost impossible to sell, unless i fork up $700-800 bucks to find ONE more just to match.... EDIT: pics Attachment 313037 Attachment 313038 Attachment 313039 Attachment 313040 Attachment 313041 no bends or anything in the wheel except the crack! |
Yes, its been known to happen but Volk wheels are still amazingly well made. The downside is of course the cost&wait time.
Sorry to hear about your bad luck. |
no offense but you must have been doing something other then driving it normally for a rim to crack

i will tell you i even had it looked by a professional. he was shocked to see the spoke cracked and not even a small dent in the rim lip. |
Don't believe it without pics.

If the wheel has no other damage, maybe you should contact Volk/Rays USA. I don't know that they would buy you a wheel, but maybe they help.
|
ouch.
|
could have been a defect it happens
|
also are you 100% positive you are the original owner?
|
I've seen a CE28 crack a spoke so I'll believe it. It sounds similar to where your spoke cracked.

if the wheel is made from aluminum it can be welded then refinished, this might cost about 200 bucks depending on who does the work.
|
considering he has owned so many wheels, my hunch is he doesnt buy every wheel for retail but used... then all bets are off.
