Default sure, if the car lands upside down, no reason they should be bent

Default They only come in 17" though. If they had an 18x8.5" I would buy them, well not now, my car is gone

But when i had my car I would have got them.

Default They're as strong as the wheels on General Lee.

Man, I don't know what kind of wheels them Duke boys had on the General Lee, but they'd jump 50 feet in the air and the wheels would be just fine.<p>Andrew Lee

They must have been made from dylithimum crystal with kevlar/berilimum alloy tires.
