long as the crack isnt on the lug area or on the base itself, i researched it should be safe to repair. unfortunately this isnt a crack but a complete seperation so im thinking some companies may be reluntant to repair this....

At the very least, I would think they would like to see a cross section of the break to see if it was a manufacturing or material flaw. Without a lateral impact, it's such an odd place to fail.

Why is everyone acting like this would never happen to a set of Volks, it happens and this is proof. There is no damage on the outer parts of the rim, so it doesnt look like he hit a curb. It does suck that its cracked but all you can do now is buy a new one or sell them.

No...to fix it, they would grind it down smooth and paint it. There's nothing left to grind down. If I ground it down anymore, the bead wouldn't hold air hahaha
And I still take hard turns on this rim. Man I love Volk...I highly doubt Rotas would've held up to that punishment.
