How bout this instead. Does anybody actually know anyone who has had problems with lug-centric wheels?

What is the shear strength of our bolts? Really, what does it take to break them? I trust them.

As far as balancing and being out of round (runoff), like I said if your lugnuts are tapered, and they are torqued right, they should run true, right? Any runoff would be due to a defect in the wheel.

I don't know what the shear is, probably upwards of 100k psi which is easy to accomplish given the tiny edge of the wheel that sits against it.
I have twisted off more than one lug bolt if that tells you anything.
