humorous thought regarding wheels
I think the wheels would be such a small diameter that the tires to fit on them would be mainly, if not all, off road tires. Even if they weren't off road tires, the tire wall would be so big that you would get a lot of body roll through the tires alone. A lot more than say even the 13 inch wheels.
That is just my two cents, though.

Discuss what? This subject has been brought up several times in the last few months. They are ATV wheels, designed to work on ATVs, not automobiles. In a previous thread, the poster even contacted the wheel supplier and found them to be rated in the 600 lb range. Far too lightweight of a wheel to be using on a 7.

my FB weighs less than that!
I knew someone would say that. I'm suprized it you Tranquil. Take a look at the specs printed on your tires, then tell me the same thing.
Someone needs to buy a set of these wheels, put them on a car they don't care about, then go out and autocross/road race with them and see how long they DON'T last. Find a safe place to do this test for the impending crash.
It's time to put this idea where it belongs, File 13.

Just because the car itself weights 2400 lbs under cornering or acceleration loads there is much greater force put on the wheels than just 600lbs, the wheels won't work. iirc most tires are rated at 1000lbs a piece or something like that. As trochoid said forget it, won't work

Been covered before, the wheels are made to carry a couple hundred pound ATV and rider, not a couple thousand pound car and driver.
