GTI wheels are built to break sidewalks if you smash into one. j/k 
They want light but also cheap because they have many sets of wheels for backup and replacements. They bend a lot of wheels and trash a lot of wheels. We're not saying uber light wheels are super weak, they are actually sufficient and respectable, however justifying that it has better acceleration and will win you close races because you saved 1lb per corner, well, that's harder to say.  |
That makes sense, thanks for clearing that up for me!
