Inspect your stuff. The last minute is very interesting with the spoke failure.

Not the reaction I'd expect to see in that situation. Doing a search on those wheels returns more than a handful of people with cracked/bent wheels that were used as daily drivers. Bmw, 350z, mercedes, supra forums ...and more have threads on issues with forgestar. Wonder how large the problem really is.

Most likely its them marketing the wheels for things they really can't stand up to. Cheaper forging process vs a "true" forged wheel like a rays/volk/bbs. Thats my guess.

Yet look at how they're marketing themselves:

Forgestar wheels have become the newest favorite wheel choice of racers in amateur and professional sports car series in the United States and around the World.
