Forged wheels are more likely to crack than bend which sucks for repairs. Ive purchased and replaced barrel after barrel.
I like the wheel you are choosing but i would go another route if your'e looking for a wheel thats going to last many years. IMHO no wheel is expected to last more than a few years and especially larger diameter wheels running lower profile tires to compensate the wheel height difference. AGs will bend. Ive had great success with BBS cast wheels. Very strong.
I can see you know your stuff im just sharing my experience with light weight wheels.

Much appreciated, I love to hear people's stories and experiences so that I can learn from them one of the main reasons I'm on BP. If someone knows something I don't and it's helpful to me I appreciate them telling me so thank you
