I'm assuming that most of the strength in a wheel design is all in how well the actual rim is made, the spokes are there for extra support and transferring power from the axle to the rim and then to the tire. So in theory the actual wheel should be just as strong as it is made, while the thing you need to worry about is whether or not the material that is transferring power can handle it.

If I'm wrong, someone correct me.

350z guys are sporting them, I'm not surprised. It's good to be a part of a car enthusiast committe (s2ki) where we can all agree on function before form.


I you guys!
