I've never liked that design. The BMWCCA Raffle M5 has those wheels and if I won I'd swap them immediately.
More generally, the video is a good reminder that track wheels are consumables. I don't see the point of running expensive wheels at the track for serious track use. In this case the expensive BBS wheels are less durable than cheaper ones, ridiculous.
I loved the comment on the length of the crack and how teams measure etc. Just like planes, there are cracks on the wings but they go measuring and controlling their size before replacing.
My brain automatically associates fancy wheels with hard parkers. Mind you I have BBS FI on my street car, now that's a design I love.
