Are hollow spoke wheels not a good track alternative for high HP cars?

I was told that we needed something more substantial that could handle big TQ numbers?

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Ehh sounds pretty foolish to say, i mean width in wheels play a good difference, but there are tons of other factors as well, most important is tires! you can have great tires on an 18x11 hollowspoke wheel and have the grip + of a 18" bbs wheels in 18x12 with street tires, ive never heard of something like that unless its for the reason that its too narrow, or offset isnt aggressive enough! ?!

that's kind of what I thought...I just wanted to throw this idea/possibility out there to get some feedback. Thanks.
