any help will be appreciated.
There may be an alloy version, but it will bend out of shape on a heavy impact so it's just as bad as crashing out really.

Can't say i've heard of any problems in particular with the C hubs, so your friend sounds just very unlucky, they may have hit it at a bad angle to put more pressure on it than normal.
