Tom, that was me with the problems with Keizer. I just now finally settled
out of court with Keizer regarding the incident. I only got my money back
on the buy-in despite damage to my tire, fender, caliper and rotor at the
DFW tour.
You can read the entire ordeal

The problems were experienced also by Joe Cheng, owner of the famous
Phantom AMod car, who also believes that the engineering behind that
magnesium wheel was well below par.

Tom kept claiming to me that he had the largest hand in getting that wheel
to production, so maybe you can place some blame on him, too. ;)
Do yourself a great favor and stick with the Panasports! that's what i
went with after the fiasco.
