Default Question About Wheels? (Wheel Guru's Needed)

Okay well,

I have been starting to re-search wheels lately, as that I feel this one subject I don't know much about. I will be in the market for WORK wheels about early Feb. of next year so I'm starting my info early to pick the best wheel for me.

I've searched this question...

Your search for What difference two peice wheels returned 14 results.

No matter how I put the sentence around, the results come up irrelavent to my answer.

My Question
What is the difference in 1/2/3 Piece wheels, what is the better one to go with, and why?

My use for the wheels will be weekend only, and / or FI in near future.

Thanks,
Dave

What is the better one to go with, and why? Any advantages over the others?

I'm assuming 1 peice is better? More Piece < Less Comlpication?

Or are they all just as good as the others?

Thanks Santos.

well,

2-3 piece are for people who

1. want to run different offset or wider with a quick swap

2. usually their lighter

3. if you bend or curb its easier to fix/replace if applicable.

well IMHO the "pieced" wheels are easier to repair if damaged..... but the 1 piece is stronger (forged that is) but multipiece wheels are known to be strong as well....

but remember a 1 piece is always be lighter then a "pieced" wheel

Last I've heard, there are even companies who forge all three pieces to have them combined later on. That in turn makes a super strong wheel instead of a 'cookie cutter' wheel as well.

Yes, extra strong but, wouldn't that make the wheel extra heavy from what santos has previously stated?
