Run high tire pressure and it will lessen the chance of bending a wheel. This was advice from a tire rack guy that had SSR's, which are a light one peice forged wheel. They too have problems with bending.

How hard/easy is it to bend a wheel?



I've heard 2 places, wheeloptions and tirerack, both say that they have troulbe with SSRs bending. (Crap! I like SSR wheels, and I wanted those new GT2s.) Wheeloptions even stopped carrying them.



I'm also interested in the 5zigen FN01Rs, but I'm a little concerned about the bending thing too...



Wait...Aren't the stock wheels like 15lbs? Aren't they pretty strong?

gt2's ?? I didnt know they had them.

Jesus christ, as long as you aren't offroading and you are careful when you drive the SSR's will be fine.
