Also, you can't really compare OEM to aftermarket or cast to forged. My cast 17x8 PF01s are in the 16.5 range. They are sure as shit going to bend like a pringles can if I hit a big pot hole at speed, though. OEM wheels tend to be more bend resistant.

Lol, yo. I didn't think I'd see you on here, let alone have you respond to me.
But yeah, you're preaching to the choir. I'm aware of these things. I was just skeptical because I was only comparing it to aftermarket equivalents which are lighter and more expensive. I didn't think about OEM manufacturing being held to different standards and requirements (perhaps for wheel strength/rigidity in this case which explains the heavier weight) and cost structures in supply and scale as I should have.
