You guys asked for it so here it is! Please be sure to read the description for full details! Thanks for your time and for viewing!

VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
"This is a short video to display the strength of our steering wheels. Yes, you will see some flexing! PLEASE keep in mind, this video displays a LOT of force using both hands to push and pull the steering wheel, similar to the act of pulling your entire body weight by getting up and out of your seat with a pillar grab handle. Please pay attention to the fact that under this high amount of stress, the dash bar mount in this S13 is actually moving the entire steering column. The steering wheel is the largest amount of leverage and will LOOK as if it's flexing the most, but also take notice of the column and hub moving under this amount of force. We are loading this video to show that under these large loads of force, the wheels don't bend! The amount of flex in them is minimal to none, especially under usual amounts of force/use.

Thanks for viewing and considering gripROYAL products! We hope you take into consideration how upfront and honest this video portrays our product.

great for a track wheel as long as you don't get into a collision and put some real force on it.

im with this guy, i want to see you guys put some real stress on that thing. like mount the wheel in a bench vice, grab the top of the wheel, and start forcibly yanking back, and forth, as if someone just drifted into a wall at 100+ mph and their head hit the wheel.

:zombie:

then again, i just like seeing stuff broken by force! would be pretty cool to see what actually is required to break a wheel though.

I've wrecked my car drifting with one of these wheels; my face hit the wheel and the windshield. The wheel was slightly bent afterwards; I'm still going through multiple surgeries 6 months down the road. In the future we may have the funding to start 'destroying' wheels to make videos for your skepticism, but as of now we do not. Thanks!

steering wheels should be designed to bend a little if there was impact during a wreck. you replace it just like you would with a helmet, seat belt harness, etc.
imho, as long as it doesn't come apart while your DRIVING, it's a legit wheel.

To add to that you are suposed to let go of your wheel before impact so you dont break your hands and wrists.

not hating on your wheels nor being a skeptic, they do look very nice, and if i didn't have hicas, and wanted an aftermarket wheel, i would strongly consider yours.

BUT the title of the thread made me think of "Apocalypse versus steering wheel"
