Wheels for City Driving

Looking for new aftermarket 19’s for City driving. In your opinion, who makes the strongest aftermarket three-piece wheels that are close to indestructible? Volk? Works?

As long as you're not running over the granddaddy of potholes, any decent wheels will hold up.

Keep an eye ahead for any big potholes, and avoid them if you can.

I've ran over some potholes at a not so slow speed accidentally with my Advans and they are holding up fine.

I recommend forged anything. On my OEM 19s I just worry about the tires. I've only hit two big big potholes in the past few k miles and things are ok.

Hell, I've bent OEM 17s on my Altima - it is more just awareness but you can't always be aware of all of it.

my sterns held up great, even after a huge dip in the road at 80 all it did was unbead the 285 tire but the rim was fine and they only cost 400 for the whole set, so if this is the **** side im sure almost any rim will hold up for city driving
