Been running Stance Sf07 for a few years, though in the last 4 months all 4 have bent to varying degrees, the worst of which was replaced with a new wheel which subsequently bent a few weeks later. Looking for new wheels that will hold up to daily use. I dont entirely fault Stance, two bends were from a major crater in the road, for which the city sent me two checks to replace both wheels on their dime (always file damage claims, never hurts to try and worked for me, very easy process FYI). The other bends Im not sure what happened but time to move on from that brand. My tires are correctly sized, not stretched though on 19s I understand the lower profile tire puts me at risk to bends, but there has to be better options out there.

Some background - I work from home, no commute. I don't drive hard regularly and don't track my IS350 (2015), put about 5k miles on it per year. I've built it out aesthetically, because its slow lol. I know the ideal fix to prevent bends would be to buy forged wheels, but that seems like overkill for my situation with the pricepoint. The middle ground seems to be flow formed/rotary forged/lowpressure cast, which I understand to be the middle ground between forged and cast wheels on both price point and durability.

I'm looking at Vossen, Forgestar, Wedsport and Rays Gram lights (the last of which are cast but apparently pretty good for cast wheels, though cast makes me nervous. Any one with experience for good dailies that don't bend like warm butter please share. 2k price maximum for a set is what I'm hoping for (shoutout to City of Seattle for covering half lol).

 

You want forged wheels but they will cost you more. We have Titan7 Forged 19s for under $3k for a whole set.

Which model, was checking out the Titan7 TS-5. Interested, feel free to PM me.

Edit - emailed you.

 

Forged wheels sound like overkill if you're not tracking the car and are primarily concerned about aesthetics. I'd get some decent name brand wheels, like Enkei tier, and call it a day.
