I'm gonna pick up some new wheels this weekend, found a good deal on craigs list but will they be strong enough?
In the picture they look pretty thin near the lug hole and the back looks extruded instead of soid like my stock rims.

I plan to ofroad them a little and I get kinda reckless as in trying to get airtime with my pathfinder (no jump pics yet, need to get a camera)
What do you guys think?


===================================
mostly stock(for now)
'89 Pathfinder XE over 212k and running good!
Python Performance Injectors, HEI coil
Thorley Headders & Magnaflow High Flow Cat w/ 2" turn down in rear wheelwell.
HB Manual Locking hubs

I don't know how much strength really matters when it comes to wheels. I think tire pressure and the ability to keep your bead is the most important thing.

So you don't think they'd break?
AND as long as I have enough preassure and right tire to keep the Bead I'll be fine?

those should be fine...

strength is a big issue with wheels...

think about the weight of your truck banging around on rocks, at low air pressure...or the weight of a vehicle coming down after jumping it... Smile strength always matters when it come to building a 4x4... Chug

but then again, I have no idea how much you where you like to wheel...

about 3600 lbs falling 6ft onto 4 wheels (or 2 and then 2 more as it usually happens) I think jumping is gonna be more threatening than any offroading arround here



THANKS ALL FOR YOUR HELP I wound up not getting them because a better deal may have presented itself to me
