classic stealies

Will these be ok for use of driving about 12 miles a day, and some lite to moderate offroading? I have heard that they bend so I am just wondering if it would be an ok move to get these. I am on a budget so i dont want to spend too much.

they should be fine, if they werent then the DOT wouldnt aprove them. alot of guys have them on here so that should say something. ive never heard of them bending but after so many yrs they start to rust if you dont take care of them

What type of steelies? generally your better off with steel wheels anyways as with steel they bend... and can be bent back. Aluminum or alloy wheels just break and can't be fixed safely... we have had people come in with welded together rims at a shop i used to work at.
