Are these wheels strong enough to deal with a loaded up X3? I'd love to get them, but I'd be worried about hauling, towing with them.

i personally had very bad luck with the breytons, the race GTS. the R is even lighter. they're gravity cast, which is weaker than the low pressure cast OEM wheels. they probably pass the min strength requirements, but i wouldnt recommend them. i replaced them with velocity motoring V715s. those are low pressure cast and have stood up much better. I believe the V710 is similar in apprearance to the GTS series.
i cracked two and bent another, my tire shop said that they thought the wheel was very weak and poorly constructed, and that it should not have cracked all the way around the barrel for an impact that did not damage the tire whatsover.
i would worry about the GTS-R considering that they're supposed to be lighter than the GTS but use the same gravity cast construction.
