Glad that you finally swallowed it down that you're wrong.

I'm still laughing at your dodgy remarks, like an idiot with nothing smart to say.

Bah. Race-only wheels can handle the stress, but then they can't be driven on the street. There's a reason for that.

Street driving is harder on a wheel.

How do you figure? I'll admit, I don't know anything about race-only wheels... I was just speaking from THEORY...

Edit: But even still (not to argue), we were discussing name brand wheels vs. knock-offs...

Stating that track use is more/less stress on the wheel is extremely vague, it's like stating that the novice driver with street tires is exerting less force on his wheels compared to an advanced/experienced driver/car with race tires. A full on race prepped car will surely demand much more out of the wheels on a track then they would experience on the street, not at the lip but at the hub.
