Aftermarket rim strength?

Hey all,

Over the last few weeks I have been doing heavy research into getting lightweight rims for my 135i. I am pretty much insistent that every thing that goes on my car boost performance in some way. Thus I have decided to get lightweight rims. I have found (thanks to many of yours help!! Thanks so much!!!) rims that are very light weight but are cast. I know that as far as strength goes forged would be they way to go but at 1,000+ per rim i feel my money would be better spent elsewhere (power kit etc.) So... Are these lightweight cast rims strong enough? I drive my car fairly aggressively at times (never excessive) and the roads in my area are pretty bad. Thanks for your help guys! (Also note that I am not bashing or attacking any manufacturers! I simply want to make the best decision)
