Mind you, I have a set of forged ultralight and they resonate like a crystal vase when I pinched them with my finger nail. Read I CAN'T go on roads that I am not familiar with at the risk of busting/exploding one or more of my wheels. You can also read this as "not fun at all". Many here have experienced it, heard & seen it, not taboo.

Compromises are hard decisions sometimes. Waste of money is some cases :/
I agree with this comment. This is a street car and not headed for a racetrack. I have built, owned, raced 4 BMW racecars (incl a first gen e30 M3 and a e36 M3 LTW) and raced with BMW CR and SCCA CR. On the racecars, I really worried and focused on weight, however on the streetcar, it is less important to me.
