Default Wilwood Brake issues

One of our local 10.5 tire guys crashed sat night, thankfully he was ok. However the pics of the damage revealed something I thought everyone should be aware of. The left front hub failed (due to impact) and revealed that it is a CASTING, not a forging or a billet. Now i am not saying a billet would have fared any better, but on 3500 lb wheelstanding cars I would not want to trust a CAST wheel/Brake hub. A cast wheel will not SFI certify, why sould the hub be any different.
