rh71 is on a distinguished road
*UPDATE* I spoke with the company that sells the rims (wheelsandcaps) - they say the vehicle won't even accept hub centric rings and their wheels don't require them. We had a good 5-10 min conversation and he was pretty knowledgeable so it wasn't like he was trying to squirm out of responsibility. He couldn't do anything for me after a year of use anyway. He thinks the guys never actually did the road-force, which usually accounts for up to 120mph. All I saw was a spinning wheel and unsure if anything was pressed against it from my angle. He thinks it's the actual Toyo tires that are bad because when a store gets a new rim they are supposed to spin the rim... 2 places have confirmed the rims are not out-of-round.
