I have RPF1s. They are weak cast aluminum wheels. They bend easy.
You have now, I bent a stock X GSR wheel. They are also weak cast aluminum.

LOL, I think all of us X GSR owners did. It's been a few years since I bothered to read the invoice, but I think the brand was almost advertised.
Thankfully these Enkei's are big and heavy. Like I posted earlier, unsprung weight is really not as important as a good driver behind the wheel! Having a reliable wheel, albeit heavy, is a pretty fair price to pay for longevity. I've yet to hear about one of the X GSR stocker rims fail or get bendies in them.

Sarcasm
Sarcasm is “a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark; a bitter jibe or taunt.” Though irony and understatement is usually the immediate context, most authorities distinguish sarcasm from irony; however, others argue that sarcasm may or often does involve irony or employs ambivalence. Also Denying the obvious and pretending a silly question of the obvious is anything but. Asking stupid questions and getting a far more stupid answer. Origin of the term
It is first recorded in English in 1579, in an annotation to The Shepheardes Calender: October:
Tom piper) An Ironicall [Sarcasmus], spoken in derision of these rude wits, whych make more account of a ryming rybaud, then of skill grounded upon learning and iudgment.
—Edmund Spenser
The word comes from the late Greek σαρκασμός (sarkasmos) which is taken from the word σαρκάζειν meaning 'to tear flesh, gnash the teeth, speak bitterly

Hmm. I've thought of these for my car as a track use...not sure though. Doesn't seem to me that a wheel should do this after 3 months and someone stated something about this happening on the track? I shall reconsider.

For example, I ran with an instructor in one session who made a point of hitting the same "pot hole" because it was on the line. He limped back to the paddocks after a half-dozen of those laps, ended up he caused problems with his upper valving in his M3 that couldn't take the hard shocks he was abusing his car with and had to get a valve job to fix a problem with a couple of cylinder valves he'd shaken apart. NVH can be a very insidious problem in extreme situations. How'd you hurt these Stekei's?
