Having lived and wheeled on both coasts, I will say that wheels take a bigger beating in the high horsepower, low traction east coast nonsense. I have broken an alloy in half running through the desert at 5 psi, I've broken the beads off of several steelies 'fixing' them so they'd hold air, and but have never torn a center out of one (which I did witness on the east coast).

The aluminum beadlocks I ran on the TJ with the 35s took the biggest beating. I was running 3-4 hammers trails a day, plus competing and they never ever leaked, burped or hiccuped.
