I can ubderstand soft, but these are like butter!! Fondametal says these rimes can handle the weight of the car and then some. I dont get how rims bend during everyday driving. Saab will not stand behind them, neither will Fondametal. They should not offer these rims on the car, unless you plan on buying the car and not driving it!
