HiSpec Aluminum Wheel Broken Spokes

[vnichols]

Upgrading tires from "E" to "G" rated and got a call from my tire guy stating the wheels on the driver side of my 2016 Wildcat 327 CK have cracks through spokes! So thankful this was discovered as I can only imagine the devastation if there was a complete failure at 65 mph on highway...I am awaiting a call back from manufacturer HiSpec to see if there is a recall, but want to make others aware so you can inspect your wheels.

Great. Something else to fret. I Googled it. They is several hits on cracked wheel and there are some recalls as you noted.

What style and size are those wheels? HiSpec makes lots of wheels! Youroo!!

Glad it was caught before something really ugly happening.

From what I understand, HiSpec just copies other brands. When you don't have to go through the pains of r&d yourself you miss things.

I have HiSpec wheels on my 2013 Forest River Flagstaff TT that have an inferior finish. I attempted to call HiSpec & also emailed them as well about the issue & never received a call back nor email reply. I spoke to the HiSpec distributor that Forest River uses & was told I would need to get in touch with HiSpec. So, don't expect any support from HiSpec!
