Every time the issue comes up on the forums they just copy past the same verbiage (I mean exactly the same colored font blurb) that their wheels are stronger then cast, and great quality, and completely ignore the actual question, and skirt around the issue of not meeting requirements. So they really aren't a comparison to any other BMW fitment wheel on the market including cast wheels since they're the only wheels I've ever seen that sacrificed strength for weight reduction like that.
Any more info or reports on this?
