What do folks think of them in terms of quality, durability etc?

Mine have been fine. I did slightly crack one, but it was my fault.

I've heard stories of a lot of them bending or cracking in the past. That is why I spent the money and went with BBS forged wheels.

Well, my issue was that I was doing too much hooning at track event. As I was sliding sideways, I think a rock wedged itself between the pavement and my rim. There was quite a jolt, then after I took the wheel off I noticed a small crack.

As with any rims, you must make sure they are certified to handle the weight of these cars.. like the XL tires we have to use on them are..

Is there a formal weight-based certification or "XL" equivalent for wheels? Or are you taking the word of the manufacturer?

I have forged rs/4 from hartmann and I have to had all of them repaired. One bent because I went across a railroad crossing. Buyer Beware.
