It appears wheel manufacturers do shoot for a predetermined strength and then lighten as much as possible.
Everyone will design/engineer/test a but differently. There is no uniformity in this process. However, what PERFORMANCE wheel folks do in general is shoot to pass a certification with minimal weight. As you know there are not really than many true performance wheel manufacturers.
