I've talked with a couple local subaru and honda guys (Not that I'm attempting to associate myself with "That" crowd). Some of them have reps and swear by them for the money. I guess it all comes down to whether they're gravity cast or low pressure cast. I'm told to just do my research and ensure that what I'm putting on the car is pressure cast. Gravity Cast can leave pockets of air or inconsistencies in the structure of the wheel. Pressure casting removes the ability for these pockets to exist as the casting cools.

I'm not necessarily looking to put cheap wheels on the car. Just trying to determine what the sweet spot is based on what I'd actually get out of them. I drive a flat thruway 4 miles to work. Don't live in the city. Pot holes are not as much of an issue where I'm from. I'll have this car approximately 2 more years (12 summer months)
