It would be foolish to mount ANY wheel with questionable integrity.  Your
safety as well as others is at question.  If you have ever seen a wheel
break lose from a car, you would never even consider it.

Howdy.

Oompah loompah doompah-dy doo, I've got another riddle for you.

On a FWD car, coincidentally much like my Neon, which end of the car
imposes
the most stress upon the wheel and suspension parts?

I'm thinking that it'd be the front end since that's where most of the
braking and cornering is done and all of the engine's power is transmitted
through.

So, theoretically, if I had some wheels of questionable integrity I'd
probably want to mount them on the rear of my Neon instead of the front
end.
Right?

Thanks in advance.

See you on course.

You jump in front of my car  When you know all the time
That 90 miles an hour  Girl  Is the speed I drive
You tell me it's all right  You don't mind a little pain
You say you just want me to take you for a drive
