Wheels... I don't know. The BBS's are attacting me a bit due to their stronger characteristics and could stand the roughness of roads more so....

I was talking to a buddy of mine who owns a big tire and wheel shop near where I live and he says, although the AIR ll CYs are heavy, they are really strong. You might want to seriously consider getting them. In Korea, they are about US$1000 a piece new.

Good to know. Strong is what's needed for Taiwanese roads... Even with 17"s, I still bounce the kid around the the backseat going over the 'repaved' parts of roads--THOSE ARE THE WORST!!! Why don't they just pave it right instead of paving it lightly and letting the traffic stamp it in?! Freakin' road construction workers suck here!!
When I lived in Singapore the roads were so smooth. They would repave busy major streets once a year.

In Korea, when the fill pot holes, they use so much asphalt that it ends up being a monster speed bump. There's a couple on the road entering my apartment complex. Drives me nuts! It's the whole "ppalli ppalli" mentality. Get things done quickly instead of doing things properly. When I lived in Singapore the roads were so smooth. They would repave busy major streets once a year.

And then they'll pile the asphalt up allover it creating an "M' shaped concave all around it... Imagine coming across this when you're going 80.. heheh
