i"ve seen plenty of them, and seen plenty of them break. if you could still buy them or parts for them it would be better, but if you break the outter piece, good luck finding another! A good set of centerlines are stronger, and just about as light.

These wheels are the best as far as aluminum wheels goes....

These may be a little pricey, but once you buy them, you will never have to get another set again for a long time IMO.

These are the wheels I went with, 3 piece with beadlock 255 each shipped to my door. You can order any offset you want and if you damage one you can buy just the piece you need and bolt it back together.

check with local dirt track racers. my uncle works in the dirt track industry and got me my aluminum wheels for 30 bucks a piece. ones a little messed up, but neither has EVER leaked any air out, which is unheard for them. deals are out there, look around.

We don't all have baddvw's money :twisted: :lol:
