I think most of the Compomotive wheels are designed to be very strong for Rally Racing. They are heavy wheels. 15" wheels weight from 15-20lbs. The 15" Panasport look alikes are 20lbs. Plus they are more expensive than most other cast wheels.

here is a good site with pricing and weights:

i really like the wheels go looking a strong. i have been told you can hit any pot hole and it will not damage the wheel one bit. but of course there a little heavy, thanks

Remember in any meeting between a pothole and a wheel, the wheel is going to be at a disadvantage to begin with, no matter its real or perceived strength. This is primarily due to the pothole (unlike the wheel) not giving a %$#@@! how it looks at the end of the meeting. In true mythological style, the hole gets "stronger" (bigger, deeper) with every battle.

Man, I Been working too hard,
