the problems some of them had do not mean they are weak...its easly possible to mess up wheels on a tire machine in ways that have nothing to do with road use. also i think many of those wheels were "unilug" there is no such thing as a safe unilug wheel. I know craigers were verry comin in unilug. they always loosened up and the loads were uneaven. Over torque or under torque can kill any aluminum wheel also.the same with a "curb shot". none of these are the wheels fault..i have broken the center out of steel wheels, but i dont blame the wheel , i was abuseing it. There were differences in the quality of some of those old wheels also. the crap ones didnt last this long, you can tell the difference in the finish, even on dirty ones.
