As far as I heard...they are stronger than the .190 wheels. Dirtwheels tested them and said after "snapping shocks" and "bending axles" the Carbon Fiber wheels were still in perfect shape.

I got a set of those on my R....they are awesome!!!

I havent had any problems with bending or anything else. Hiper also has tires, so they can mount them for you....which is good. Im sure it would take a while with dual beedlocks.

Oh,yeah, they look freaking trick!
