with a 17 or a 18...if you are getting a minimal looking wheel look into forged wheels. But I'm sure Ronal has a stout wheel that is cast. I think it may depend on hte manufaturer. But remember all the bending issues with the Viggen wheel with lower air pressures.
my 17 year old 17 inch HRE 3 piece are still bulletproof to this day. But they were one of the most expensive wheel manufacturers back then (aftermarket for Porsche et all), and have forged center mesh, and machine spun rim halves, not cast. I've seen sets of my wheels (the 504 series)still go for over 1000$ on ebay, sans tires. Makes me feel better that I got this set for $200;-)
