the 'cheap rally wheels' are the ones you only buy once.
the stock toyota wheels we started with were nice, owned ~10 of the 'pizza cutters' bent one onto the caliper, broke another 1mi from the finish of Nawhatzl. ~20events
If you're running used tires, run used wheels too.
a trashed $50 dollar tire on a trashed $20 rim is only $0 to $210 loss (if you finish the event)
If you're running NEW tires, put them on RALLY wheels.
a $200 rim is cheap when you're putting $150skins on them.
at 2 rougher events, I lost ~$700 in rims and tires running stock volvo wheels (that seattle locals treat like the rarest gold)
buy 6 or 8 hot rims and run used tires for a season.
never buy another rim.

We'll let you know how the embedded rocks of Ketchum do.
