Doh!! If I had only seen this last week I could have saved myself $11.

OP, I had/have the same problem you do. I had a run in with a curb and the wheel survived but with a nice chunk missing. Also, I believe it bent the wheel just a tad. I do fear it cracking so that is my reason for replacing it. I had toyed with the idea of buyin a new set of different wheels, but I really don't have any problems with the wheels so it was in my wallets best interest to just buy a new wheel.

Out of curiosity, how much were you going to let the 3 good ones go for ?

I've seen the 15's crack a few times with sticky tires, tho I've had a set of 17's for a few years that are still good as new.

It's a light weight cast wheel problem. Wheels are wear items when used for racing and should be inspected often.
