I am just wondering what 1/5 billet wheel options we have.I know DDM offers a few but I can't believe those are our only options.I would love to see some other options if any of you guys/gals have them?

Thats why I asked. Ive cracked a few myself. Not a big deal with steel. Aluminum goes in the bin. Think ill stick with plastic.Well I owned an automotive based wheel and performance business for years and on full sized cars I have seen hundreds if not thousands of wheels bend and crack so they must do both but on a much smaller scale.I would think if they incorporate ribbing on the rear of the face of the wheels that would almost totally eliminate that problem.
More just hitting rocks and such at high speed. Those rims are the first point of contact on anything hard. The fields on my property aren't exactly groomed like a baseball field. You would think tires would be enough cushion, but ive cracked a few on my fullsize truck bombing through the woods. Probably not a concern on such light vehicles.I haven't had mine too long, but not sure how you could break them bashing in a grass field. Maybe a crazy hard landing after a cartwheel? Not really doing crazy jumps with 5th scales unless on a track, then you wouldn't use billet wheels due to the weight.
Yeah if you have rocks where you run then maybe but where I run no rocks, just large field??More just hitting rocks and such at high speed. Those rims are the first point of contact on anything hard.
