Going off what Andy posted earlier...Light and cheap don't go all that well together in that they are usually soft as s***...
forged wheels are expensive to make and buy, but much stronger despite being lighter than normal cheaper cast wheels...
If you guys are getting these light wheels for racing...still be careful...One "farm plow" and chances are you will bend a bigger lightweight cheap wheel...And just on the street one pot hole won't go over too well..

My friend James has a set of O.Z.'s he was in Pet for the longest but got posted to Kingston. He has split a rim on a mid pothole. He said if it was a regular rim like mine it would have survived.
Light is wicked for the track but perhaps not what you need for the real world.
When are you out of Dravar??

got ur offsets mixed.....+40 will push the wheel away from the suspension...makin it actually more room
hence y ppl dont run around with 17x9 +60 or so wheels but 17x9 +30 offset.....im thinkin a set of 17x7.5 or 8 with a +35 offset would be flush with the fender flares of a p5/msp im thinkin 235 tires also
