Advan RGII Cracked

Has any one had an issue with these rims???

I have a set of Advan RG2 18x9 +29 rims on 255/35 tires... daily driver... well i noticed that i have a cracked rim... Its across one of the spokes too...

Ive heard of this happening to Rotas before but Advans really? Their Fordged rims...


Is their something i can do like contact Advan themself and let them know i have a cracked rim?


these things were expensive... unfortunately i dont have a receipt for them



ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.... ANY VENDORS INPUT OR HELP

Advans are not forged, they're casted, if I'm not mistaken. All types of rims, cast or forged, can crack.

from what i know you should contact wheeldude about getting some rota boosts..... ok ok ok im joking. but really Rota's arent bad unless you intentionally go do something stupid or by mistake. thats why even badass advans can have bad castings or be made on a monday or friday by someone who just wants to go home.....i kid i kid.

yeah guyver is correct, these arent forged. back in the day when i was mod crazy, i avoided advans because i considered them overpriced cast wheels (although looked very nice)

Wow, that sucks. As others have stated, RG's are not forged, but they do have a forge wheel i believe they make now. Hit up Speed Element, great guys to deal with, got my RG's from them.
