Well, he had 16" wheels and 55-series tires. Nothing too drastic there. He's still running 16"s and 55's, but he's back to the stock wheels, which seem to take the abuse better.

I'm not totally disagreeing with you, just saying that the 16" wheels aren't indestructible, either. Overall, you're correct.

nahh, man. i had 17" MR7's with a 40 series tire and i ended up cracking the front two and making the other two oval shaped. then i got the 11lb. 15" wheels with 50 series tires and cracked two of those! but id say the light weight wheels are easier to break because they arent made with very strong materials.

just bc you have also bent 15in rims doesnt mean that they dont have a greater resistance to cracking with a largher tire

im just sayin i think its because they arent made as strong as heavier wheels. cause when i broke the 15's i was goin 30 mph, and all i did was run over a kinda big rock.
