    very well said.Plenty of times when punctured.there is no big damage at outer place of rim,but there is damage on the inside of rim,due to camber angle of wheel,specially at tarmac with increased camber angles.
    And because we cant see the inside part of rim,we tend to say ''oh how it punctured,rim has no even a scratch'' = sitty tyres

    outside of wheel is stronger as it’s braced by the spokes of the wheel. Inside rim only relied on wheel rim strength, no way of bracing it. I’ve had it happen in my road car.
