    I have a buddy who ran LM reps on his E30 BMW for 5 years no problem. I think any cast wheel with a lip has its limitations, though. I'm sure if I hit my AG's just right they'd explode, too, but not many people would say they're a crap wheel.

    LM reps normally have brake clearance issues and the quality of the wheel and finish is not the best.

    Its the design of this wheel and has nothing to do with who made it - As Chris@EPL said - its the design of the spokes and width of the lip and unless you are running a very wide wheel, this design will have limitations with brake clearance
    The bigger the lip -> less room to clear anything behind it...brakes/suspension

    So the solution is make the wheel wider as most want the big lip or the deep dish look...why we have been seeing so many 10 inch wide wheels from everyone across the board from Rotiform to ESM to everyone else
