I called Godspeed Wheels and point blank asked them if the rims had any real quality to them LOL. The guy I spoke with didn't take any offense and informed me that it had much better quality than a replica wheel I was comparing it to.

He was very familiar with the Bullitt wheel and stated that the bullitt wheel is used on major drag strips all over the country by the Ford Mustangs and it that they hold up very well both on drag strips or any track. He also said there are now Mustangs Drifting that utilizes the American Racing single piece torque thrust II and the standard Bullitt Wheel. Moreover, he said they had a car at Mustang week that was pushing 1000+ RWHP sporting the staggered Omega.

He noted that the Maximum load capacity rating is stamped into the back of the spoke on the bullitt wheel as it is a DOT requirement for any wheel. He mentioned that the Bullitt had a Max load rating of 1,400lb's. He also informed me that 18" rims often have a weaker load rating because the spokes are more elongated which makes the barrel and spoke weaker. He said that there drop face computer engineered Godspeed Omega has almost a 1,600lb load rating.

He said this was a pretty big deal considering there wheel has a thinner spoke, is a larger diameter and has deeper dish. They credit this to better technology in the initial design process. He said that every Godspeed wheel has the DOT mandated load rating stamped into the back of the wheel.

Another cool little fact that he gave me was that the wheels have a lifetime structure warranty and 4 year finish warranty which I thought was pretty good, but I have yet to compare there warranty to other wheels so that is my next task.
