I think one of the problems was that IFI designed these wheels before the game was put out. They may have had some hints that traction would be needed, but they probably didn't expect THIS kind of phsyical gameplay. At SVR, the spokes on 1280's custom wheels were completely sheared off in the second Finals match. If gameplay was that rough on their wheels (which appeared pretty sturdy), I can imagine it could do some pretty bad things to the IFI wheels.
