    Mag Wheels on GT2RS, how strong vs regular wheels??

    Sky is at play whilst the cat's away! 

    Many US Weissach pack cars have Mag wheels.  Sky is concerned about hitting road holes at 165 running to Jackson.  Can the Mags take it?  Thanks for your help

    Re: Mag Wheels on GT2RS, how strong vs regular wheels??

    Mags are typically more brittle than Aluminum.  The old ones, anyway.  From what I understand, new ones are stronger and less likely to deteriorate with years as the old ones though (newer/better Mg alloys now).

    Also, the RS has higher tire sidewalls than the GT3 which will help absorb some of the impact...
