i have flow formed aluminum wheels on a other car and they bend quite easily on our pot holed roads.
so, would forged aluminum wheels better withstand the beating?
would ,love bbs motorsport wheels, but titan 7 offerings look great and the price point is preferred.

My application would be largely track, so 18s would be lighter with more options for aggressive fitment with R Comps / semi-slick, but I agree for street setups more options in 19. If they are able to do both sizes, I'd be very interested.

I'd be down for 5 lug as I reached out last year about the specs of their existing but they only offered 11 rear.

I want 12 rears also so lug nut conversion doesn't work for me. It'd cost $8,500 for the conversion and two sets of wheels. At that price, I may as well buy one set of BBS and live with the centerlocks.
Still focused on finding 4 guys who want to buy these wheels in 19" centerlock.

It would be inconvenient if it were true, however that is not the process of how wheels reach customer hands lol. I'll use ANRKY Wheels for this example to explain to you the real process. ANRKY does not sell directly to customers. They focus on manufacturing their product. They rely on a dealer network to sell these products to the customer. They have set prices that dealers use and follow strictly. Dealers do not mark up these prices. This is not exclusive to ANRKY either. The majority of major wheel brands like HRE, AL13, Vorsteiner, Forgiato, etc. use this model as too. So in reality, the process is Manufacturer > dealer > customer. That's a very simple chain for you to follow as it's the same with buying a Porsche. Porsche in Germany > your chosen Porsche dealer > you.
You're entitled to your opinion as to why those wheels are used on track. I don't doubt that they can be durable enough or light enough to a certain person. But the truth of the matter is that those wheels are used on track because they are cheap and disposable and it won't break the bank to replace them.
And I do genuine apologize for chiming in on this thread. I honestly did not see that you were trying to get a minimum number of orders made for the wheels and had I seen that, I would have messaged the user that I was responding to privately. If you'd like to message me to discuss this further through private messaging then please do so. Once again I am sorry.

Titan7 has been around for a while with many track applications and I have not seen one failure.
