I'm surprised to see that they risked driving through such significantly rocky terrain! I'm going to have to check in on any close-ups of the wheels to see if any noticeable damage occurred!
In my humble opinion, the 2020 wheel design is more than tough enough to handle those rounded rocks at the speed it drives at. I'll look out for future wheel images, and post anything I find :)
