Just be careful with them. They're light and they're sexy, but they aren't strong. I can tell you from experience that it doesn't take much to bend the lip.

They are as strong as my Traffiks were, same MFR technique, same material. Managed to never bend those in what, 4 years? Not even a curb mark.

I'm pretty anal on the roads, but I will be sure to be careful.

What size tires are you running?

Same as you buddy, only saw the pot hole that did it long enough to grab the wheel tighter. You won't have nearly as much to worry about down in NM, just sayin be aware. smile.gif
