This place seems to have good cheap wheels. I was wondering if anyone had experience using either their DOT wheels or especially the lightweight D-Hole wheels on the street.

What would the durability prospects be against say an aluminum Z/28 wheel?

What would be the weight difference between these and stock aluminum wheels? These weigh 24 and 16 pounds (DOT and Lightweight) at 15x8.

Those styles look like most of the low end american racing and cragar rims. I don't see why they wouldn't work if you see a style you are into. You have to take care of them because they will start rusting about 9-10 months afterward. just use a coarse number 3 steel wool pad and it comes right off and makes the rims nice again.

I was just wondering about durability with a 16 pound steel wheel on the street. It just seems a little light for pothole duty here in Jersey.

I see. I really don't have pothole problems here in my town, I am not for sure if a lightweight wheel can take the punishment of many potholes if any at all. I am sure there are many people on the forums here that can answer that question alot better than I.

cheers!!
