Oh, so you're a stock kind of guy.

Enkei is the wheel company behind the Subaru wheels.

The enkei rpf-1s are a sick track wheel indeed (however, they arent forged either)

track/daily driven. I don't know about you but how is a track a better test of a wheels strength than say some daily driven roads. Idk about where you live but up here in Slumboldt, pot holes swallow whole cars

Again you try to interpret what I say but again you fail. I never said the only good rims are forged, but rather I argued that trading a non forged rim for a forged one is "stepping down".

So would you "step down" to run the 15.5lb non-forged enkie RPF-1s?
