They're VERY strong. The only time I've seen a wheel bent is with the IS300 that my Dad USED to own (he traded up to the GS430). SSR GT1 with PP SO2's. He was taking a ride on the highway with two other guys from the dealership and he jumped the car. The guy in back was no lightweight either...right near 270 pounds. His friend was more average, right around 200. So, you figure about 500 pounds in the back. As soon as the IS300 landed my Dad had a very *sick* look to his face. The car wouldn't drive right afterwords. Problem...bent rims. 3 out of 4. If you were to look at the rims from the side, you would see a "flare" from 3 of them. Talk about an imbalance!
So, yes, they're strong but don't jump the car or carry any heavy people with ya. Also, watch out for the potholes or anything else that might launch the car. Stupid move on his part.
As for the weight, if they weigh less than 55 pounds (he's running 18's with SO3's) with a 19 setup, I'd be extremely surprised.
