Wheel Strength Survey - What do you know?



Wheel weight and strength come up in a lot of discussions. Because forums often contain misinformation and anecdotal evidence, we're working on some technical articles to clear things up. We're polling the community so we can incorporate some of the results in our article, and so we can spot areas we may need to focus on more. It's a brief survey with just a few questions that graze the surface of what we want to cover.

NOTE: Our survey threads tend to turn into opinionated discussions with people posting their answers, so don't read any of the posts below until you've taken the survey yourself.

Click HERE to take the survey.

Expert@ApexRaceParts , this should be fun! Would love to see some forum user explanations for number 1

"3. Rank the features of a wheel in order of importance" - 1 or 3 being greatest importance?

"4. What do you think your car’s load rating is? Guessing is fine." - Presumably you mean "minimum load rating of a wheel for your car"? Otherwise the answer could be considered GVWR, FGAWR, RGAWR, etc.

Haha nice!!!
The sm10 is really strong...that picture is from when I did my 1:47 at buttonwillow cw13 and in order to do that, I was literally flying over every curb to PB.....my priority was laptime and not parts or wheels breaking....next time I switched the tires, all 4 wheels weren't bent...I was actually kinda surprised lol
