Default OEM wheels

My OEM wheels are pretty messed up, any idea what quality build they are? are they forged or just overpriced gravity pour?

Many oem wheels are poured, forged is too expensive to manufacture to make wheels.

I believe they're just poured. Can probably go to http://www.car-part.com and find a set from a wrecked GS for about what it'd cost to repair yours, or maybe less.

Thanks for feedback, thats a great site!
i'm due for new winter tires and i don't have dedicated rims. Ran the last set by re-mounting the tires. I drive like a lunatic and melt tires every 3 years so the bead doesn't have enough time to damage, but the $80 to re-mount tires twice a year is annoying, though economically given another 5-6 years of driving the car, im not sure new rims +TPMS are worth it.
Tire shop has nice looking replicas and i'm thinking if they would be any worse quality than the OEM - again safety is my 1st concern given how i drive. If im getting new rims, id rather get the nice ones for the summer. The scrap yard rims are about the same price except i have to drive to the far end of the earth here in Canada these seem to be sparse. Im ordering tires tires for both mine and the wife's cars, but looking to source proper Denso TPMS sensors, wondering while am at it if i should pick up a set for my car as well... feeding my OCD is annyoing as hell

Could always check the site for some '13+ F-sport 19's if you want something a little different:
