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

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

I think the term "skid marks" could have a double meaning

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

We have seen this many times with cheap copys, though mostly in 22" wheels

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