any rim can bend and crack on rough roads. just buy good tires that are designed to protect the rim.

What an answer.....


I think he wanted to know if Ron's wheels are excessively prone to bending.


And now I am the second member to leave this thread unanswered but while a reiforced sidewall is always important on larger thinner wheels, a strong wheel is even better.

I have to agree with Techno, he is right, it all depends on how you drive your car and where you drive it. If you are running 19's with 35 series tires in downtown NYC you are out of luck, coz sooner or later you will bend one of them, and curb one badly while parking your car. As far any experience with the RJ wheels, well a member in the 3G section, named Vikrampatel had a set for sale a while ago, 18" RJs. He had bent and scuffed his wheels pretty badly and ended up selling his wheels for only 350 or so. You may want to get in touch with him to ask further question regarding the strength of these wheels. Basically all alloy wheels are pron to damages coz they are soft unlike the forged alloys which can withstand more abuse. That is why you see the multipiece alloys go for much much more dollars than their single piece relatives. I do know that RJ makes a multipiece set of wheels that they just came out for 2G RL and 3G TL. Get in touch with RonDog for more info on those, goodluck.
