Anyone using these rims. I currently have a cracked e55 rim idk how maybe its replica but i need some 18's for my daily use because my 19's are only for shows. I live in New York, this car is my joy rider but i do realize the pothole situation here, i can't afford to be destroying rims left and right so is it true these rims are forged??

If your roads are really crap I would go for some heavier replica's (of which most are still lighter than stock). I would hate to bend a nurburgring. They are very well made from what I have read on them before, yes rotary forged.

I agree with tw2.
I had them in bronze (17") on my 204. SUPER wheels. And the roads I drive on are simply shocking. They lasted well. But I was very careful with them

NYC has brutal roads...don't forget heavy use of metal plates. i blew a wheel on my audi from driving over metal plates in Los Angeles...i'd recommend driving like a grandma always or buying a wheel that gives you the most sidewall height as possible. our our cars require XL rated tires so should have adequate sidewall with anything close to OEM 18 inch.
