Default Mammoth spoke wheels with big hp motor?

Need some help with choosing wheels with a big hp motor
I have mammoth spoke wheels 18in rear I was wondering if the wheel will be able to handle higher hp/tq numbers
Like what would break first belt,pulley bolts or spokes?
Or should I get mag wheels?
What do you guys think?

i wouldnt use the spokes just for the weight issues those wheels are heavy and rob alot of hp, go with alluminum wheels just my 2 cents

I don't know how much power your making, but I've had a set of DNA 60 spokes for 5 years. My 103 is making 114/120 and I haven't had a single problem with a loose spoke or a belt. I wouldn't worry about pulley bolts, as long as they are torqued, locktited, and have enough clearance to the swingarm they should be fine no matter the power.
