Bob Stevens wrote about his experience with GoWesty wheels:


"Besides the tires, both right wheel bearings failed within the next 18 months."


Failed wheel bearings is supposed to be one of the potential
consequences of using wheels with improper offset.  This has been
discussed numerous times on the list, though some think this isn't true.
