just as the topic question says. UPS dropped mine and pout a slight bend in the lip and I'm mad....

Have you guys ever bent the rim while driving?

UPS literally "throws" the boxes around.

since the spoom wheels are 8 lbs a pop or so, its very easy for one of there guys to pick up , and chuck it on the floor, about 30 ft away and dent the rim when something on top of it crushes it.

I think the ups guys throw it badly, it is very hard to bent the spoon rims. it's because I am using 15" spoon rims on the street and on the track for the last 2 years, it was still good...

Strength of wheels with tires and without tires is too vastly different things.

Someone told me that the Spoon wheels aren't as strong as my TE37's

I kinda doubt that...

you'd think the driver or someone would make a note in observing such a desimated box.

INSURE YOUR PACKAGES >> insurance saved a $7000 guitar that was lost in shipping
