[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 599475, member: 483"] I think way too thin. Most aluminum wheels are much thicker than that with contouring in addition to material thickness that increase rigidity. 15,000 lbs doesn't seem like a lot of force either. Don't know how much your rig weighs but say it weighs 5000 lbs. I would think adding a vector to that mass would increase resultant forces exponentially, not just 3x. I have no clue how much but I would guess 100,000 lbs or more. [/QUOTE]
