They have held up incredibly, i've got away with a very very minor bend, if that. Sometimes I hit potholes so big that I stop to look if my wheel isnt falling off.
I don't know what you mean by tire problems, but my toyo proxies have held their own. There is no rubbing being dropped about 3 inches.
These wheels are top notch from other wheels i've owned (mille miglia and MAS) and would recommend them. Some say that 19's are not daily drivers, but for me that's all I do and they've been great.
hey man thanks a lot for your help. I've been looking at those wheels for quite some time now, and you've just convinced me to get them. Like i said earlier, I've hit some major potholes too, and have bent my rims 5 times now, and I'm talkin major bends too. Luckily, there's a wheel shop not too far from me where they heat them up and bend them back, but I'm tired of dropping 200 or so bucks every time this happens. Anyway, thanks again for your input, those wheels look absolutely gorgeous on your car, keep up the good work. I'm alittle south from you in Delaware, maybe we'll run into each other at a show or something.....thanks again.
