Honestly, don't skimp on your wheels and buy cheap crap. Ask yourself the question of why stock wheels weigh 25 to 30 lbs when they're gravity cast and xxr's and rota's weigh 15-20 lbs have the same design as forged wheels and are gravity cast too. They shave material off to keep the weight down and their integrity is compromised.
Look into TSW's or enkei's. Do more research about materials used. I cannot stress this enough. I've had arguments with member about that with their last line of defence being the fact that they have airbags. Don't let it get to that point.
The maximum yield strength of normal gravity cast aluminium is under 8000psi and forged wheels aka 6061-T6 is 35000psi.
In other words it takes less forged material to hold a particular structure and that is why its light.
Cast aluminium is not as strong and needs more material to hold a certain design and maintain integrity.
There are a lot of other brands that don't BS like xxr and rota and use proper construction and look just as good and are safe. Spend wisely. Anything that compromises safety puts you and everyone else in your car and on the road at risk.
We don't drive slow on the freeway and anything that breaks or cracks is going to be catastrophic.
