He's back there left in the middle of the road with a tire mark down the side of his face. It is a pretty strong wheel :LOL:

Um so that wheel probably still holds air in the tire. Also I know from experience that a wheel repair place can fix a bent wheel in most cases. However in the case of a cracked or shattered wheel (like the mugen above yikes that's scary) they cannot fix the wheel because the structural integrity of the wheel is compromised. But anyways I am done arguing the difference.

Haha, if you're hitting a curb at 15 MPH you are going to have major damage regardless of wheel strength. Even if the wheel could take it, you would just bend or break suspension parts, which are often even more expensive to replace.

The only relevant question is how the wheel performs under the expected conditions. If you are expecting to hit curbs, maybe you'd be better off in a Ford Raptor. ;)

That that right there is a sight to behold.

Ouch. I would hate to see the cost on an OEM ferrai wheel. Also I would be surprised if there was no damage to the suspension or other parts in there.
