According to Forgestar, driver did not inspect the rims before heading out on the track. They mentioned that his rims were cracked BEFORE he got onto the track! Driver apparently had the rims for 3 years and was on and off the track with them (which obviously causes rims to become fatigued.)

Im not debating why or how his rims cracked and dont care, but I do have them on my car and so do other members. This thread was posted to make people aware of the possibility of having cracked wheels, these f10's are way heavier than a puny s2000 so our chances could be alot higher to have a cracked wheel just from spirited driving on the streets. Ill be checking mine this weekend and report back.
