KH Bent spokes are a stronger wheel - they have 40 spokes instead of the standard 35 Ford 32 spokes. KH bent spokes are riveted in place vs welded standard. Also the 40 spoke KH has its spokes bent to enter the rim at a straight in position vs the welded spoke that is angled. My opinion is that the KH 40 spoke bent spoke is a stronger wheel ... not suggesting that it is better for your purpose - just describing my view of the differences. Also - the KH 40 Bent spoke offered a slightly wider 4.5" rim (shown in the picture) suitable to handle a bigger tire. I have 4" up front and 4.5 in the rear.
