Is OEM rims 161s bend easily?

Bimmer325 · 03-21-2006, 09:57 AM

Had anybody here bend 161s/162s with that RFTs ? i mean how easily do they get bend as the sidewalls of RFTs are rather stiff, doesnt that suppose to help preventing a bend rim?

i thinnk it helps because it would probably absorb more of the shock. I havent had any problem so far with the 161s.

The stiff sidewalls of the RFT does protect the rim. Also, OEM rims are fairly strong anyway (although a bit heavier)...
