is this true? can it be prevented? does one warp more than the other?

ACTUALLY.... the 2G and 3G wheels are NOT the same. The 2G GSX rims have a polished lip and are a welded 2 piece wheel. The 3G wheel is a one piece and if you look closely, they are a little different. But that's if your obsessed like me emoji sorry

But yes it's the 2G wheel that is easly bent, so if you have these just be very careful!!! The 3G's as far as I know are fine. I havnt heard anything crapy about them.


I use to have a White 99 GS Sport with a Star Stage II Ball Bearing T3/T4 turbo...it was fun untill....well those who remember me know emoji Oh Ya...this is what I have now... a 99' GSX...
