I was wondering which wheel would be better to buy as far as durability goes. I was thinking of either a an Itp series 5 or series 6. One claims to have a rock crusher outside wheel lip and the other has a precision trimmed lip. So which one is actually better. I plan to traverse all sorts of terrain and I don't need something that's going to crack and break. The reason for the aluminum would be the decrease in unsprung weight otherwise I'd go with steel unless the aluminum just isn't worth it. I don't care about bling either. Thanks.

 

I have a set of type 5s and a set of Vision 160s and they are both holding up very well. I probably abuse the type 5s more and they are still in good shape.

 

I have some type 5's and they get pounded, and are holding up really well.
