I have an inexpensive set that is lightweight (<19lbs) and although not forged, has been proven to be very strong. They look decent too. So far 5 track days, and even on this one bumpy track where I like to crash into the bumpy rumble strips to straighten out the corners, they have held up very well. Even if I damage all four wheels, the cost to replace them together with a new set of R-comps is still cheaper than what a set of the Forgelines with tires would've cost me to begin with. In fact eight of these wheels with R-comps mounted comes out cheaper than four of the Forgelines with R-comps. I can run a set of slicks and a set of rain Hoosiers for the same price LOL!

The wheels are D-Force LTW5 18x9.5 with 12mm spacers. Nitto NT01 175/35 on all fours.
Thanks! Where did you purchase them and what brand of spacers? If from Bimmerworld did you get the tires there too?
