If that's what you want to spend the money you haven't used on, go for it. Like they say, "It's your money and I want it now".

I recently purchased the GS01 wheels from LA Motorsports and am very happy with the quality and communication.

How depressing to know your wheels will fail. Does warranty cover that?

No. They don't back them up if they are bent or cracked. If it is from a manufacturing defect they would be covered. Pretty sad commentary, but I want peace of mind. I won't wait until they break. It takes time to get proper wheels. I don't let time standstill. I drive everyday for fun or other things and enjoy every bit of it.
