Fact of the matter is yes I would love to have those wheels but, there is no way on my salary I'll be able to afford them. Also yes casting in more inconsistent and heavier.I understand these shortcomings among others. My car is a daily driven car. Id hate to beat up such expensive wheels as well. Also im a professional mechanic and I'd much rather pay to replace a broken cast wheel than any of the suspension components under the car or tweak mounting locations even. Hell racers like ken block use wheels the shatter on heavy impact to save the suspension components. So id like just an answer to my question and not have people try to run a clinic on what they think I dont already know.

You can afford anything on any salary. You own a Z don't you? How did you do it? By saving up money and/or by finding a good deal I assume (but you know what happens when you assume...). You can do that with anything you purchase whether it's rims, body kit, clothes, etc..
The reason why this thread went off topic is because many people on here support the original design from companies (Volks, Works, BBS, etc), and will pay for the quality (forged vs cast). And as always, there will be others that support the replica scene. Kind of like politics democrat vs republican. It's a never ending debate.
