$1000 is not much to work with ☹ Will these replacement wheels be used all year round or summer only? The 19s Violator posted are nice, but if he’s already expressed concern about hitting potholes in Buffalo, 19s will not be a good choice either. ---

> [@Rx3](#): > > Those Hyper 5ZRs look like they could take a lickin’ and keep tickin’ . I am a bit confused about why people actually want strong rims. In a impact that is significant enough I would rather have a rim bend and fold then the same happen to the suspension or the chassis. I’ve busted up a wheel or 2 in my time and they are much easier to replace then fixing bent control arms, blown shocks, or otherwise. ---
