Hell, weight doesn't even matter anymore since everyone uses big horsepower cars; the weight is a plus since it keeps the wheels turning longer, even off throttle. They're acting as a peudo flywheel.
Have you physically inspected and checked out the wall in jersey? Hard step like a curb at the track where wheels get demolished all the time... Forged and cast wheels alike... On another note, high Hp cars =high speed= high impact force... As to side impact, its not side impact but more angled impact. As to weight... not super light but on par with 3 or 2 piece forged wheels...
