Default I have read alot about the RH wheels in the search...Now the questions PLease Help

1. Is there a problem if these wheels wiegh more than stock tires. Will I have to be replacing other items on the car to have these wheels (ie shocks)
2. Any problems with the three piece wheel bending?
3. I live in Fort Worth and where would one suggest to have them installed?
4. Is it neccessary to have larger back wheels than front or can it be more like stock TT diminsions. What is the pros and cons?
5. Do they ride smooth?

2. I have the one piece and have never heard of anyone having problems with them.
3. Find a good local wheel shop.
4. Do what you like.I have 18x8.5 up front and 18x 9.5 in the rear. You will notice oversteer with this setup unless you change the rear adapters.
5. Yes they are very smooth.

P.S. The other guy said they don't make a 3-piece wheel and he is wrong.Check the link.<ul><li><a href="http://www.rh-wheels.com/multipiece.htm">http://www.rh-wheels.com/multipiece.htm</a</li></ul>

Default agree, and...

...keep in mind that ANY wheel can bend. You just have to be careful. If strength is a top priority for you, then you probably want to get some forged wheels, such as Kinesis...and be prepared to pay about double the cost of the RH Wheels ;-)
