Default stern wheel ?

Has anyone tried stern wheels?
Do you think these will be strong enough for hard cornering?
19x10 et 25 should I get a 5-10mm spacer?
18x8.5 et 35 should I get a 5mm spacer?

TY, I sent him a msg. I like the looks of these but I also want a strong rim. Do not want wheels flexing at hard cornering.

This is a wheel by Lexani...have had them for about a year...survived following Nick' aggressive run at the Spring Dragon... they are very "beefy" built...Carl

They make some good wheels.
My car being sapphire silver I like the hyper silver look.
With yours being 7 spoke they could be stronger then the 5 spoke sterns I looking at. Depending on spoke size/material.
Found this site that has great pictures of different angles.
Check it out and please tell me what you guys think.

Speedy4x4: Stern wheels look very good... they appear a have similar spoke construction as the Lexani...Flat face with the beefy part of the spoke angleing back...If your're interested, go the Lexani.com...they have a wide selection of styles and spoke choices...the pricing appears to be about the same... My 4 19" staggered rims cost approx 1300.00 (was over a year ago)...Carl

Should I do the spacers? Which size do you recommend?
