I like the way alloy wheels look on my car but have bent two of mine twice (Mille Maglias). Any advice as to the stronger brands or designs?
1999 Volvo V70XC - running 215/55/16 tires. TIA

Try something with a little bit more reinforcement in them. Thin line rims are very fragile. 5 or 7 spoke are always good, or go a biggers size. 17's, 18's. Anything with a thin spoke is not recommended, thick spokes or more reinforced in the centre of the rims would be great for you.

Any of the following rims would be good for you. Notice the extra reinforcing in the centre to stop warping.
