Plenty of people here will tell you that Arc-8's and foregestars stand up to plenty of abuse.
Before you start making assertions about a wheel not being well made perhaps you should educate yourself, or at least provide the evidence or experience you have to back it up. But I doubt you'll do that seeing as you come across like a fan boy anyways.
And where did you get 19" from? My forgestars are 18" 8.5 et 45 and 9.5 et56. Now my 2 piece modular forged wheels are 19". |
Forgestar wheels are forged wheels. They cast a blank, then flow form/rotary forge the wheel to shape. I would not group them with "cast wheels", that are cast to shape and then never forged, and should have higher strength than cast only wheels.
