AAAAAAAAA

That is such nonsense.  If they were a freaking example of good 
engineering, NO WAY they wouldn't have promoted them as such.  Also 
NO WAY they would have done warranty or goodwill replacements of bent 
rims, because they would have "performed as designed."

Another way to look at it, if soft rims were such a wonderful and 
beneficial safety feature, why haven't ANY other manufacturers 
blessed their customers with them?

I know this is rude, J.H.N., but do you believe that "extra heft" 
improves stability too???
