Default NAD wheels? Forged vs Cast? Nitto Nt555's?

1. I was thinking of getting NAD 4's for my car, but one thing bothers me. It's not a name brand so I don't how the quality is. Anyone ever had NAD wheels before can we please chat, would like to ask a few questions.

2. Anyways, is forged a lot better than cast? What are the stock 18's on the 2007 GS350 RWD? I don't want to drop a couple of grand and then have it crack,warp,bend later.

3. And lastly, anyone ever use the NT555's? A suggestion on a better tire? I'm in Socal so it doesn't rain a lot and it's for a daily driver under mild driving. Thanks to anyone who can help!

2) stock wheels are cast. forged theoretically are stronger than cast, but there are a lot of forge process, and you need to go to good brands to guarantee quality. also, cast wheels don't mean they are crap, good quality cast wheels will still go a long way. i have yet cast jdm wheels on my cars for years and i have yet to bend one of them
