Don't blame the one piecers!! Blame casting. Forged Monoblock has no problems like that to speak of.

You're a little off. Forged wheels almost NEVER crack. They can bend, and can even tear, but I've never see a forged monoblock wheel that has actually cracked.
However, I have seen some of the "Semi-forged" monoblock wheels made in the early 90's, like the Mugen RnR, that are prone to cracking, but they aren't near the construction of modern forged monoblock wheels.

i mean crack from accident, bad curb job, etc...not everyday driving. anything can break and bend good enough so it does crack/leak/tear..some people on here think that **** is indestructible.....and you say forged wheels 'Almost' never crack........it's either do or don't but in this case they do, sometimes..........CRACK/tear/ same shiet to me....

Re: (Mr. Bob Dobalina)
Let me take some pics of some cracked forged products for you. I've seen SW388, CE28N and HRE's crack under driving. I've also seen TEIN RE's Crack under pressure.
When you think of it the harder the material substance is the more brittle it will get, but you want to look at tensile strength, Hv, and HRB of a material versus the brute impact force first.
