I'm not saying it was the driver's fault but is it Vossen's policy to replace wheels damaged from any type of a collision? If that was the case I'd love to get me some Vossen wheels.

Saw this earlier today and saw the caliper was the main impact. This happened on my old GT30's but Volk decided not to replace my wheel. So I ended up being SOL. At least Vossen replaced your wheels. Glad your ok as well.

Yeah I didn't get to see the picture as well! That's some great CS from Vossen. In fact I'd give them my business just for the great CS experience.

Removing the picture was lame. It's great that Vossen stepped up and replaced the wheel right away, but what happened to the wheel is an important part of this thread. Without the picture, you might as well just delete the thread entirely.

Wow, i never knew Vossens would back up their customers like this.
First time i heard a company backing up their customer like this. Much respect for Jav/VossenWheels.

After reading through the end, i realized OP edited and removed the pic, so yea, MSCA is right, i think most of us who missed the pic would like to know what happened to the wheels?

Infiniti take care of our TSB and warranty things, but we still see pictures and hear about it. Kind of cover-up ish to make him delete the picture. It's a CONSPIRACY!!! :P

Are Vossen wheels cast?? Thats what it looked like at the breaks.
The picture showed 4 spokes completely sheared off from what looked like the wheel flexing and hitting the caliper during the impact.
