Seeing as how we have a 400hp ls1 swapped 240sx running Rotas on 255 Hoosiers at the track, I find it hard to believe you have any experience with wheel design.
Not to mention that you start out your argument against a gravity cast wheel, yet Enkei's number one selling race wheel (RPF1s) are a gravity cast wheel....
OP. Your wheels look great.

You are flat out wrong. Enkei's RPF1 is NOT gravity cast. It may start out that way due to hot liquid aluminum pouring, but that process is just the beginning. It is flow formed-- that's the technical nomenclature for it [but their in-house term is called "MAT"]. I will say it again--GOOGLE IT. In a sense, the RPF1's is a semi-forged wheel.
If you can't piece the puzzle together and you get the RPF1 wrong--then there's no point in providing you "factual data". All the n00bs ask for that too anyways.
Piece the puzzle yourself as I certainly most did. I already provided couple of the pieces, but I won't hand it to you in a silver platter. I'm not defensive about it. It is what it is. If I'm wrong, I won't hesitate to admit.
But at the end of the day true facts are true facts. False facts are useless and not facts. In which, I will now end any discussion with you since you are providing false facts.
