Right now the wheels are still on stock Dunlop RFT tires which perform good in wet (couldn't test dry yet) but the ride is harder than my 19" Dunlops and they are very bad in the snow so I'll get rid of them. I have to get some winter tires anyway, but everything's sold out at the moment
We're not used to having that much snow here so that might be the reason why I can't find any winter tires that I like (or on backorder 'til february)

The reason I ask is that I've always wondered how durable they are, having a decent sized lip (looks great), but that they are not a stepped design. I would think they would be easy to deform.

The Beyern Mesh wheels seem to be good quality regarding strength. I've done about 40,000km (25,000 miles) on them and still no deformation on the lip. I have recently cracked one wheel but that's because I slipped of the road into the lower gras on a narrow passage and the inside of the wheel hit the pavement while sliding off. The tires also had a light stretch to them so I was very easy to hit the wheel
The paint on the wheels is good, even with very bad weather and only cleaning them every one or two weeks it shows no damage. The varnish on the lip has some slight damage on some parts, but not very noticeable. I will be polishing them high gloss anyway so that doesn't matter to me.
So overall I'm very happy with the strength and quality of the wheels.
