This is a warning to all of those considering to purchase a set of cheap rims. Depending on the manufacturer, some rims may not be to spec. This is an example, a very dangerous example of what can happen to cheap rims. Please becareful while modding your car and be safer than sorry.

I hope none if you were going to purchase a set of ADR Jazz. This is what happened when a guy hit a small pothole going about 80 km/h and the Rim snapped in half.

how's about just not buy ADR rims???

personally I've used and abused sets of cheap rims .... and for the most part they were only cheap because they were ugly

it looks like that rim was reallllllllllly abused, look at the outer rim damage.

Those look more like mounting scars...

Gunmetalef

possibly when the rim snapped he was riding on it for a second??? thats might be those scars.. but thats insane

Nova_Dust

Any rim will snap in half given enough force and whatnot. That HK signer Nicolas crashed his Ferrari last March and I remember one of the rim was snaped in half.

i remember my friends mercedes AMG rim cracked... may he rest in peace

bahahahah -- little pothole and 80... my ***.

the pothole was apparently about a 2 feet
guess it went quite deep
yes the guy was doing 80 and the condition of his rims were immaculate until... this

I've got concept pro's on order...uh oh...

But I'm not scared. Live life on the edge - RIDE ADRs!

or a lot of curb rash

That's because ADR probably use a local foundry to get their ingot. Best quality ingot is from Dubai. Highest consistent quality currently available. The rims that I bring in are from manufacturers who also produce OEM for Honda, Toyota, Suzuki, Daewoo and Hyundai. They have to have meet not only VIA or JIS/JIL standards, but DOT and have current T.U.V. And they use imported ingot for it's purity as impurities in the metal may cause failure in the rim. Also they must go through many tests - this is where rim manufacturers differ. Manufacturers that make rims for OEM have to ensure that their product doesn't fail - otherwise they could loose their lucrative contract..

That being said, you also take your chances if you run an ultralight rim with low profile tires on our roadways...
