If you are still not convince I've seen Porsche cup wheels for £400.00 a set in 911 and Porsche World , so buy those and use spacers with the correct offset.

Any wheel can break just, ask Robert Dunlop at the TT a few years back when his rear magnesium alloy shattered without warning at 100mph+....ouch!!
I think the main difference with OEM wheels is probably the finish & the ability to withstand salt etc, even that's not so good on some!

'.........The fact of the matter is that Wheels, whether they are Fuchs (stock or modified) or racing BBS wheels have a lifespan. My Mechanic has seen cracked wheels from every wheel maker. Thats why Pro teams cycle thru their wheels. Obviously some types will last longer then others, but I would say if you DE or Race the car regularly with stickey rubber, you definately want to keep an eye on them........'
If had oodles of horsepower and was smashing into track type kerbs at high speed then I would definitely use the toughest wheels available . For sane track use and street I think my relatively low powered SC is safe.
