I would have to say my HID from ddm..even after a relay install, they seem to be intermittent. Also, i dont know if it is just me but I am getting crappy cutoff (nonexistant) with the aftermarket kit and I feel like it is not even brighter than my halogens...

5 Cracks - and i had the rims less then 4 months give or take.
Linea corse - lemans.
I should have saved up and pay the extra couple of hundred or thousand for the BBS LM's.
Linea corse rims are casted so one crack will do it for you. even when you fix the crack, it is most likley your rim will crack again i can almost promise you.
I had mine welded and fixed twice already. i'll snap some pics when i get it back from the shop and show you. Horrible.
ps. I live in Los Angeles...
Pot holes > Linea corse

When I turn on my car with the footbrakes on there are no DRL on. As soon as the foot brake is off the DRL comes on instantly. I would assume this is true for just turning on the car's electronics as well without starting the motor.

There was just 1 person who regretted his purchase and he bought the wheels used...not sure if the previous owner had them repaired or what not....the history of them is not known
Also, when you repair a cast wheel, it WILL tend to crack again, the welds don't hold up as well as the original casting
I'm not saying the wheels are indestructible, they can get damaged if a pothole is hit hard enough, but for the most part if you are careful and try to avoid deep potholes you should be ok.
If you look at most the posts here about Linea Corse wheels, people are very pleased with them

Im not trying to knock linea corse... I Like my Lemans but... Los Angeles roads eat them up.
When I bought my rims it was from a trusted forum and member, and also when I bought them of course I inspected them before i bought them....why wouldn't?.. I wouldn't do a blind buy on a used item....
Of course I'm going to avoid all the potholes I can, who in the right mind wouldn't want to avoid them??...
on any note that is solely my experience.
im just saying I HIGHLY doubt i'll buy cast wheels again.
