[QUOTE="CHOP SHOP, post: 990489, member: 17493"] nobody has addressed this yet. there are two allum. wheels- cast/forged and spun cast /forged (ALCOA) works fine for the most part and if your tires have been mounted for along time they dont like to break free as easilly. spun are most common (CENTERLINE ENKI etc.) and they suck offroad they fold easily, but are bent back easily, but the rim diameter is a tad smaller everytime you bend then straighten it out. the cast/forged styles are prone to crack when you bend them back. just go steel-you can bend em, fix em, beadlock em, then beat em. all for cheap. i can always find steelies cheap (my 15x10 were$20 bucks used for all 4). just make sure the safety bead lip is on the inside if your making beadlocks someday. outside if not. steel wheels rock.:awesomework: and hardly anybody changes thier studs to longer ones for thick allum. wheels:masturbanana[1]: [/QUOTE]
