yeah... for drag racing. just take a close look at the wheel and tell me where ther braced.... all of the stress put on the wheel is put right on the bolts

 

show me a brace on any wheel ? I have road raced with centerline wheels on a 65 mustang for years. yea a 3.5 skinney might be weak but not 8''. I also have had them on my truck. now weld wheels are weak I bent those on a pot hole before. I have run centerlines for over 20 years and never bent one.so dont tell me how weak they are unless you bent some

 

i like those

 

ive not bent a single one, but i have had one, like i said break ALONG THE RIVITS. google search it, you'll find the same thing. and skinnies are less prone to breaking then the wide ones... its the big grippy ruber that puts more stress on a wheel that despite being 10 inches wide, is the same material stiffness. and theres a big difference in road racing and auto x
