InCurve VS Forgestar

Any preference or reviews? Both positive and negatives welcome. Both seem like affordable alternatives. I'm considering both my 19" options as well as 20.

Thanks in advance

Yeah, I noticed that. Makes me nervous Forgestar have these issues in 19's and InCurve are cast and 20's. Likely to have similar problems.

Agreed. Based on the numerous threads I've seen on here about cracked wheels, even 18s, I would never buy one of their wheels.

Thanks for the advice gents. The InCurve's are an amazing deal, but I've fallen in love with another set of wheels that are much lighter.

If moderators want to shut this thread down...By all means.
