Rucha (Fat Five) wheels question
Above are the wheels in question (ones I want); below is my car with its current stock wheels.
Hi all! I'd love to change my Bluetec's wheels to 17" Ruchas (stock wheels off an e500) but I've read many posts (on other forums) stating that they are soft and bend easily. I am a careful driver and I don't have too many pot holes where I live but I don't want to get weak, junky wheels either because there's always Murphy's law. Does anyone have personal experience with "fat fives" on their daily driver? How practical are they? How strong are they compared to the 16" double spokes that came stock on the Bluetec?

They seem strong
I have a set on what was our vacation car, they've seen under 10k miles and mixed driving in nyc and LI
If you're in the market for a set let me know the set I have had less than 10k miles on them w tires
