Sorry, there is no evidence that Panasports are stronger. The Panasports are a plain cast wheel....the Enkei are a rolling rim tech wheel (same process used for many forumula one wheels where the metal is squished into the mold under high heat and pressure....the resulting grain alignment gives it much more strength than its weight would imply). Thus, the greater weight of the panasports is no reason to imply they are stronger given the lower density of the resulting product.
