interesting. But based on how long it took to dent both of my front factory wheels I would not have payed the steep Porsche premium. And I'm not a daily driver. I also cracked a rear wheel (no coilovers or aftermarket suspension) but that was after four years. Although that doesn't seem like that long a time frame.
I fared no better with my previous cast alloy BBS RK's. Both front wheels dented within a year, one simply slowly driving up onto a steep driveway with a high edge at just the wrong angle.
