They have only been ridden about 5 times and are good condition except a black mark and the chunking of course.

me and a mate were drifting a hairpin and looked at my back two wheels and there were the chunks. I was so cut because they were so new. Does anyone know why that happened? Any advice on how not to chunk wheels haha.

well you do have to be careful with new wheels. its best to break them in (slide em a bit on smooth road to round the edges a little) before you put them into action. taking a fresh set out on a hairpin session is not the best idea, especially if the road isn't all that smooth.

they are definitely still rideable though man. just won't be as grippy.

max grip comes from the inside edge... they are still fine to ride dude, trust me

The major chunk is on an inside edge.

yeh dude ride em till theres nothing left. those wheels were designed for sliding in mind once broken in so once they wear out they are designed to be still fully functional. unlike other wheels that once they are coned they are dead these wheels are still pretty damn good once fully coned.
check this out for example, i posted it up a while ago:

ive only recently put those wheels under the late and cut them down to about 64mm, and they are as good as new, but until then the only real problem i had with them was running the risk of bending an axle with such a severely coned wheel.
your wheels only need to be in tip top shape when your in a race, where it matters the most, so otherwise just smash em to the ground and ride em till theres nothing left. and if you dont have a lathe to flatten em out turn em around and cone out the other side. if theres big chunks then slide em some more and wear the chunks away
