they are, i sent a complaint to madd and tey gave me a new one plus heaps of stickers, they were really good, send them a email, you'll get a new one and bearings and spacers, and stickers... good stuff
If MGP fails so hard and sucks so bad, why would you accept the new wheel they gave you for free, and then continue to talk shit on them? Seems like they remedied the issue just fine...I mean, 300 dollars for a legit complete is unheard of. Most of us pay 500+ to get a really nice setup dialed in. They had to cut out some of the cost somewhere...
Better solution: Buy Protos, Eagles, etc. You know, wheels from companies that actually make wheels and are known for making wheels.
The cracks on the top of the slit yeah but i dit them on the ground to put them back to normal size. I let this kid borrow em and he put in an ics starnut in them and it stretched them out. I needed to use them for 3 days on an ultra pro bcuz my fsa snapped. but the slits were fucked and wouldnt go into the clamp so i tryed bending them and hitting them on the ground. but i run scs so ill cut the slit if i ever use them
