Default stupid question

Alright, dont get on me about reading the stickys, im new to the wheel game and am trying to take all this crap in.

anyway my question is prolly stupid but...

are there strength ratings that i need to worry about for wheels? do i have to worry about which rim i pick due to whether or not the torque will blow it to crap


thanks

Pretty rare concern unless you are talking about drag wheels.

Cant say Ive ever heard that one before. Like what was said above ^^^. Unless your pushing some crazy RWHP, and STICKING it. I wouldnt worry bout any of the wheels you see round here. My buddies got 857RWHP, 792RWTQ with a set of C6 rims from Tomzwheels.
