I had H&R Sport springs installed last week and added a 12mm spacer to the rear. I really like the ride with 18" wheels. It may look better with my 19s but this setup is great to drive.

Wow, the drop looks great with these wheels. Congrats. Can't wait to see it at the 7/10 PR event!

Do you have an instructor yet? I am have requested Rob Scheibe who I had at the PCA day. You might see if you could get him. He is bright, PHD in mechanical engineering, and really loves to instruct. I also had Stan Bovich for 2 BMWCCA events. He is very good and has an almost new e92 M3. Looking forward to seeing you there. Saw your car at group II and your wheels look fantastic.

Do you know the offsets on that wheel? Does it come in 9.5"?

That doesn't mean there aren't relatively inexpensive cast wheels that are relatively strong. TR Motorsport wheels do not seem to fall under that category though for instance as there are now multiple reports of bent wheels on the track (rough track surface, minor trip to the lawn, etc). I am sure you can find well made cast wheels that one might see on a race car. Aren't Advan RS wheels cast for instance? However, they aren't exactly cheap at $2.5+ a set, plus they can't be as strong as a well made forged wheel at comparable weight. Are there a set of 18x10 cast wheels that weight 19lb each (add the spacer weights if the offsets are off) and cost ~$1.5k and won't get bent on the track by going off or catching a bad bump? And what about overall stiffness and elastic deformation under high cornering loads? With the exception of bling motivated marketing and purchasing, I don't see how you wouldn't be getting what you pay for in general when buying quality wheels.
