AMBIT wheels
Wait until they break.. Someone in the genesis community took these out on track and after the second session or something hitting an apex, one of the spokes broke. There was an outrage in the genesis community and this "Ray Huynh" kid got banned that was selling them. He couldn't provide proper paperwork when asked and showed some bull**** taiwanese crap
I did quick research but no luck. I do see some pictures of bimmer and brz&frs owners running them plus their vendor selling those.

Noone knows maybe they become very popular like rota wheels later.
I've had the RS-18's installed for over a year now and have had several high speed meetings with pot holes and such (the kind that makes you clench your hiney when you spot them too late) and have never had a problem. The powder coating seems incredibly durable too, no chipping even after hitting the finish plenty a time with an impact socket. I highly recommend to anyone interested.

Just circling back around to this. I thought that I had an email alert setup for this thread, but apparently not, seeing that there's two new pages of discussion.
I'm genuinely happy that nobody has had issues with these wheels yet, on this forum at least.
The wheels being inexpensive doesn't give Ambit the right to fake QC credentials. That speaks volumes of a company in my mind. Ambit actually held-up their end of the bargain, and removed the JWL / VIA claims from their website, but instead now claim "Manufactured in a JWL / VIA Certified Facility", which means absolutely nothing, because if the wheels itself doesn't see the appropriate fatigue testing, nobody knows it's actual durability.
I'm filing a formal BBB complaint as we speak, and we'll see what happens after that. The fact that they still cast "VIA" and JWL" into their wheels is highly illegal. The JWL is a fairly serious group; we all know the Japanese take their wheel quality very seriously.

I basically blow a tires last week one of this wheel in a very nice and deep pothole. The wheel has no issue.
Dont know it matters or not for this thread.

I don't know, maybe my English but I checked it out today 03-12-2016
and that is what I found:
"Our wheels are widely used in motorsports such as drifting, especially by our sponsored drivers. Quality is important to us and we stand behind that. Our wheels meet all JWL/VIA certifications and pass a QC inspection during production.
Ambit Wheels are JWL tested and VIA certified"
