First off Xato,
I am glad you survived that accident.There have been too many enthusiasts killed the last few years in their performance cars.Accidents have occurred with every make.
Whether the cause of your accident was driver experience,mechanical failure or after market parts will probably never be known for certain.The men I refer to are not just car owners.They are technicians,speedshop owners,aftermarket parts suppliers,racers and a few are engineers.
I know quite a few of them personally,because I do runs with them and others just from the boards.On one of the large car boards I am a member of there are hundreds of Lamborghini owners.Many of them drive their cars like I drive mine.The problems you speak of are few and far between.I agree,that every maker has a lemon from time to time.There is no debating that fact.
But the fact remains,your car was equipped with aftermarket rims.Whether you knew it at the time or not doesn't change the fact that all the exotic car manufacturers highly recommend NOT using them.And all will void a warranty if an owner decides to modify the car.
If you have a case against Lamborghini there is enough legal precedent against auto makers to justify a nice settlement for you if they are found guilty of building a substandard quality machine.However,to indict a manufacturer of one of the finest quality highperformace automobiles because of this one case is where I take exception.
A few years ago,BenLJ lost his life in his CarreraGT while on a racetrack.His widow has taken Porsche to court over it.If you are interested in following the details of that case let me know and I can point you in the right direction.
