    Yes they are. They are barely a year old and I don't think I'll be keeping them much longer if the truck isn't totalled out

    That kind of rim failure from normal driving seems really strange to me. Glad you came out of it ok. Good info on the tires.

    Well I had them a year and wheel every now and again. I feel like these aren't really designed for wheeling at all though I haven't seen anyone else have issues so take what happened here with a grain of salt.

    I agree. These rims did get chips in them easily though out wheeling and I feel like they just weren't too strong and possibly a chip in the bead might have been a week point to give way maybe

    Also updated info on pictures due to confusion

    Agreed however in this case how the accident happened, that allow rim crusing like that absorbed a lot of force and may also have played a part in me not going over

    Got my ST MAXX's this last fall after I damaged my wheel on a curb. There's been a few times where I was sure that I should have blown a tire, but those suckers hold up really well. This tire has yet to disappoint me
