Did Breyton came out to address why the rims that cracked did so? That's really bad publicity if they just ignored the high profile failures.
In contrast, look at Forgestar. They had a fiasco with the 1200 vs 1500 ratings. At least they came out to explain and introduced corrective measures. What is the position of Breyton on the cracked rims?

I don't think Breyton has said anything.. but here's a bunch of relevant threads. I'm not sure how many you've seen already. And I don't know if you've heard my personal story, in which I hopped a curb at highway speed, chipped two wheels, bent one, and had NO cracks in the wheels. I think they are high quality. People have bent and cracked many rims, from cheap to expensive. I think they are higher quality than VMR wheels, personally..
And I think
Gill@TireRack.com's recommendation is glowing:

I'd recommend them to my mom if she had any interest in that sort of thing.

Also, I could only really find two or three "horror stories" about the wheels, and they're included below. Most seem to have been met with positive results..
