What wheels does Burton Racing run in ST class?
Somewhat random question. Just managed to watch the CTSCC Sebring race on my DVR this afternoon. The ST class #23 Burton Racing 128i piloted by Terry Borcheller had a spectacular failure when its loaded left rear wheel sheared off through the spokes near the hub. Obviously this kind of failure can happen on occasion with almost any wheel under race conditions at a brutal track like Sebring, but I'm curious as to what brand wheel they were running. It's not listed on the Burton website, and it's not obvious to me from the picture below. Any ideas?

I was watching a race on TV in 2012 or 2013 - similar class of cars, not sure exactly which one - at Laguna Seca and a Toyota had the same failure. The center of the wheel separated from the rim at the first right-hand corner after the corkscrew.

the spokes are very thin, which i would think is a trade off of weight vs strength.
