1G Sturdy Rims

[tsi92geek]

I drive hard roads to work and back and while out cruising. The state I (unfortunately) live in has some of the worst roads in the country. I'd like to have nice rims, but the fact that they will get bent and torn up if I drive them everyday.

Does anybody have suggestions on rims that can take a beating? Maybe something that was designed for rallying? I always thought a steel reinforced mag alloy wheel would be killer. They don't have to be the lightest things out there, just strong and pretty good looking (modest 5 spokes are nice.)

Compomotives are popular for rally but pricey. Check out Kosei K1s too.
