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.

Punishment of rolling around on regular city streets?

hahahahahaha... a volk cracks and people still need to crap talk rotas in a thread ABOUT a volk cracking.... its amazing! "sorry your volk cracked! but rotas! man rotas are junk!" "rotas arent quality at all" blah blah blah! if rotas were such crappy wheels, and had all these issues, they wouldnt be in business still! they ARE in business, because they make GOOD (not great) wheels at a great price! and all you rota haters saying they crack alot..where are all the pics??????? trust me, when wheels break, people take pics and post them! and if they did it alot, like all of you say, then there would be several pics! one isnt proof! i have pics of cracked advans, volks, bbs, wedsport, enkie..etc... it happens! but it doesnt mean they are junk! ALOT of professional race teams have been running rotas with great sucess! so tell me they arent strong! or not "quality wheels" because you garage racers would know over profesionnal race teams! i think not! but you all "know of a friend, whos friend cracked a rota"
as for the OP... sorry i went on that rant.. sucks about the wheel... id be heartbroken if one of my volk gr-c's cracked.. it would be impossible to find just 1 replacement

honestly for DDing and even for tracking Rotas are fine. It's just the old reputation that they carry. There are a couple teams that track with Rotas with great results. LIC Motorsports uses Rotas.
