It's funny, he asks:
Do real wheels bend, while fake wheels crack?
I have real Mercedes AMG Monoblocks, and 1 had a hairline crack on the rear of the barrel 
Real wheels do crack aswell, I'm guessing they're just made better, so less likely to crack.

I'm not a fan of these XXR 522's but ironically they aren't really heavy at all for a 18x8.5 cast wheel

Vinny from the other forum
"Aside from a few well placed and unbiased comments this thread gives me a fucking headache..
I seriously doubt the damage seen in the pic's was caused by anything aside from hitting the other car. None of us were there. So really, we dont know. Even still Blaming the accident on the wheel sounds like bullshit IMO..
What bugs me more is the attitude that if your wheels arent rocking a trendy brand name or didnt cost a Bajillion dollars. You are now a hazard to anyone near you..
Im Honestly waaaay more afraid of that stupid text your trying to send..
When it comes to wheels I wouldnt say Im the ultimate authority. But those who know me. Know how many wheels I fix/refinish on a regular basis. I think they would agree I have a pretty good Idea of what Im talking about here.
99% of the aluminum/alloy wheels sold around the world are made Via low pressure cast..
Most so called "fake" 1 piece wheels sold in the US. Use the exact same manufacture process that most, so called "real" 1 piece wheels do. Many are even made in the same factories. DOT requirements and structural integrity are in most cases Identical. The major difference is, higher priced wheels will generally have a better finish/look, and more stringent requirements regarding things like balance, and trueness of round.
Even most Multi-piece Wheels have low pressure cast centers. Break a spoke off most SSR, Advan, or BBS wheels for example. and it will look exactly like the XXR in the pic
The whole real vs fake attitude is stupid... Safety cannot be simply based on name/price alone. Just because you pay more doesnt necessarily mean you are getting a safer product. Cast is Cast... more times than not.. One is no stronger/safer than the other. "
