Message	you really think a wheel doesnt flex in the least? wouldnt it be brittle as fuck if it had no give whatsoever? try this: take a wheel off and lay it on the ground. stand on the hub and see if it doesnt flex at all. shouldnt be able to see if with the naked eye, but put calipers and other things to it and then tell me what you see and, again, once i unpack (probaly not for awhile) i will find my sema training manuals and take pics of them and their explanations. im sure the fine people that write the sema cert tests know >< more than you. im just going by what ive read/seen :shrug:
