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". |
Only thing I'm a fan of is quality. Neez, Volk, BBS, RAC, Champion. These are all good companies that make ultra high quality forged wheels, most of which are 8000 ton forged.
APEX makes an excellent product for the money and stands behind it. You will never find me saying anything disparaging about them. My only gripe with them is that they don't make a good 17" for the 1 series. But given the nature of market and 135i owners, I doubt they would sell many.
Some random Googling:
"Forgestar wheel failure"

"BBS wheel failure"

"Neez wheel failure"
https://www.google.com/search?q=neez...hrome&ie=UTF-8
Just a cursory look has lots of problems with Forgestar wheels(and their customer service), some replica BBS wheels failing(no surprise there), and nothing for Neez.
It really looks like Forgestar is on the same level.
