I am not implying that you will not disclosed but if the wheel changes hands two more times later, would the new owner ever know..?

I have heard of many scary stories about wheel failures on the track due to unknown cracks and wheel fissures...
No offense taken and valid points. The cheap Chinese repaired wheel scares the hell out of me too. That's why I'm not ever going to track with these wheels. I've decided that I only plan on using them to see if I like black wheels on my box and work out the bugs from an Carrera engine swap. After I find replacements, they're going to the scrap pile.
