My Rotas Got Owned!!!
Learned my lession, keep your car in gear when your turning! hit/ran up this little curb and the rotas couldnt handle the impact.... (which wasnt very much) and broke. The previous owners of the wheels cracked one of his, so i guess that one was bound to crack on me too. So becareful when you buy used wheels, mine probably had a slight crack on it. My rear wheel got curbed too

a high quality wheel probably would have bent badly and not break off at the spokes like that. this situation is life threatening

Re: (Kid1320)
Before the Rota flamers swarm in here 
He says that a wheel was already cracked and then he hit a curb. Of course a busted wheel will break that bad after another big impact. Be glad they're just inexpensive Rotas instead of $2000 rims that would've been wasted on the street (they might not have broken but most likely would be beyond worthy repair)

right-o
but i still guarantee that the same rim(spoons) would have done the same thing.

true i did hit that **** hard, but i didnt even feel it, it just felt like i jumped a curb. it was a side impact on the wheel, not head on.

really? how? you figure if it had a crack in it before you started driving on it you would have had the foresight to get a new one before the incident.
