Im wondering if factory wheels are the strongest wheels you can get?
I have a 06 636 and the wheels are garbage. Just junk and rather then replace them with another piece of junk, if I could get a stronger set aftermarket I would rather spend the $ on that!!! Thanks for the help!!

 

Aftermarket aluminum forged wheels are stronger then stock wheels. But they also cost alot more....

I never understood what everyones problem with the 05+ wheels is? I trashed 3 sets of 03/04 wheels learning, but now that Im at that level where I dont crash stupid hard anymore I havent bent my 05 back wheel in 2 years....And the front did get a few dents in it over time but not nearly as bad as I used to kill front rims...

So far I have not noticed any differnce at all between the 03/04 and 05+ wheels as far as strength goes, IMO they are the exact same wheel just different spoke and hub casting, the lips are the exact same....

 

My back wheel is fine, but my front is just junk! It seems as if I dont set it down oh so softly it dents and then the tire leaks.

Ok, I appreciate the info!!! Thanks!!!

 

Are you running full pressure in the front?

 

I have to now because the air runs out of the taco...

but typically, I wouldnt.

 

my old 97 zx7r, had some sweet stout steel wheels.. the newer ones not so much..

oh well.. thats what hammers are for eh? pound that lip back into shape..

taco's anyone?

it is taco tuesday isnt it?!?!?! :YEAH

 

Run full pressure.......it'll help you avoid tacos...lol.

 

i didnt have a problem with bending the lips of the rim, my front rim bent from a sideways flop and bent the whole rim sideways.
