I am not interested in a RACING WHEEL because they bend on bad pavement.

I want a STREET wheel that will handle potholes and broken pavement, which our roads are packed with.

That's believable.

But a 12.6 pound wheel has nearly 30% more material than those sub 10 pound "racing" Enkeis.

I want a nice looking, strong, forged wheel for under $200 that can handle the beating of these roads.
