I would imagine a company like WedsSport would have done some seriously QA for a wheel likely designed for track use.

They are probably stronger than any other wheel on the market.

[QUOTE]These carbon-fibers are then weaved into an application specific matrix (pattern) which yields a cloth like material which is then layered with an epoxy (thermosetting epoxide polymer) that cures to create that sexy shiny and beautiful Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) that we all love to see on modified and exotic cars.

don't ever curb them, or hit them, or just replace if it doesn't explode
