Message	Two avid road racers I know, one running in Honda Challenge and the other running in Redline Time attack actually swapped out their Enkies due to bending them all the time. They swapped out to FN01R-Cs and never bent a wheel again. Wheel selection isn't always about weight. 1lbs isn't much of a difference. I'll quickly go to a heavier wheel if it will by stronger and more reliable. Enkie's are good quality, but it's still a cast wheel, and with that come the weaknesses of a cast wheel. Sttronger than most wheels in it's wheel weight range, but still nothing compared to a forged wheel.
