Bruce,

I'd watch 'em closely. With cornering power equivalent to a 5 series
Beemer, the wheels are certainly seeing their share of stress. I know
the Sy/Typhoon wheels were notorious for flex and after a few years use,
you almost certainly had more than one bent wheel on the vehicle(mine
had 3 bent after 4 years of corner burning).

I would think any new wheel design needs close scrutiny for the first
year or two.

Bob
