In the comments section of this YouTube video, the driver mentioned that the manufacturer of the offending wheels - Forgestar - has since been in touch to offer a full refund and buy him a replacement balljoint. The company has also said it’ll analyse the surviving wheels.

The moral of this story? If you’re doing regular track days, it’s worth keeping a close eye on your rims…
