Although I see them often of various high performance and high end cars, I really don't know much about their street rep for damage. I love their look and I wouldn't mind some reduction in unsprung weight, but I don't want any additional risk of wheel damage in typical street use. My question is whether they are any more prone to damage than an OE wheel for street use. My GEN 2 wheels have not gotten bent in over 44,000 miles. Am I looking for trouble or are iForged (aero's) wheels as resistant to damage as OE wheels? Aluminum alloy is spozed to be stronger than steel, but I'd sure like to hear what others have to say before I drop a few grand. Thanks.

iForged wheels are built with 6061-T6 aluminum one of the highest grades of aluminum used in the aerospace industry. As long as you check your tire pressure and don't let it fall too low you should have no problems with city driving.
