I know we've hashed this out in gruesome and horrid detail but
I don't recall a response from you on the question of strength,
well I do recall you saying something to the effect that 'the
steel thickness of all the wheels you've seen are the same so there's
no strength issue'.  Was that your final word, or am I confused?
I'd rather buy a wheel that I know is extra beefy than trying to
use a car wheel on a heavy vehicle like the syncro westy...
