TR6 wheels (which are 15" x 5.5") are not strong enough to race or autocross
regularly on. I asked the same question of this group a couple of years ago,
and I received many replies describing how the center section can pull out
of the rim, leaving you in much the same situation as someone who breaks an
axle. You can buy strong but heavy steel wheels made for racing for a lot
less $$$ than the Panasports.
