I recently had four new tires installed on my Suzuki. The installer, Discount Tire, said that two of the stock wheels were 'slightly' bent and he put them on the rear to minimize the effect. He was correct that at higher speed I would get a vibration anyhow. Reconditioned OEM wheels are outrageous. I can buy two nice aftermarket for the price of one OEM. Since the other three are looking pretty dismal also, I'm in the market for new ones.
I've never bought wheels except for one time purchased some steel wheels just for winter tires. So some questions;
1. Wheels can be cast, flow forged or machined from a solid billet (very expensive)
2. Which are best for average street, no off road use?
3. Are they lighter than stock?
Size will be 18"x 8" 5-114 bolt pattern. I'm leaning towards either Borbet or Voxx offerings.
Advice, anybody with aftermarket experience?
