the correct term is more like "buy incorrectly risk your life"

As the thread reads....there are 600kg rated alloys out there that are designed for the VW transporter, not the RRS.... but are being marketed as such...so make sure you're buying alloys that are up to the job RRS gone

Shi**ing himself I guess Mr. Green

Seriously though, probably a victim of a pot hole meeting a cheap wheel.

I think the term "skid marks" could have a double meaning Whistle In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

unfortunately in the world of replica wheels this is common place and not only on big cars like the RRS believe it or not.

Our 22" wheels are rated to 2 tonnes per axle. so basically 1000kg per wheel.
