Anybody know about the strength of these wheels?
Anyone heard about the 19''s bending or cracking?
They're a great price but because of that, I'm just a little uneasy about the integrity of the wheel.

If they're anything like the HPR5's (which i've owned 2 sets of) They're built strong. I ragged the hell out of my first set before I sold the car. My buddy that i sold the SC to blew a tire on I-95 going about 95mph and they didn't get messed up at all. I bought a second set in gunmetal for my 97 SC. My favorite rims for the money by far! Hope that helps?

Our cars as well as many Japanese cars are 5x114.3... I don't believe there is a 5 lug universal wheel...

yes there is a 5 lug kinda universal. They are usually ugly as hell cause the have 10 holes. I have seen 5x100 5x114.3 as the choices on one rim. having ten holes on the hub can't be to strong however, you swiss cheesing and important part of the wheel.
