I never stated any of what you ASSumed, but you obviously have little exposure to reality, lots of aluminum rim failures occur all the time. it's not a theory, and you are not going to have such an issue with the factory rims i never even suggested such a thing, no one was in here talking about oem aluminum rims...are you lost little boy?
I see how you are trying to be cute and look all smart and stuff but you misunderstood everything in my post and simply look like a 13 year old child now. thanks for the laughs...this is where i'd say cheers but I don't want to be accused of encouraging underage drinking.

Oh, I must have misunderstood the thread. I thought we were talking about typical cheap steel wheels for passenger cars, specifically with regards to the twins. Didn't realize that we're having a theoretical debate over the best materials to use for a custom designed wheel for a race car. Maybe the fact that everyone else besides you was referring to regular ol' steel wheels was what gave me that impression.
Point still stands - you'd have to be an idiot to put steelies on a BRZ. Are you going to contest that? I'd hope not, you seem smarter than that.
You may be right about being able to design a steel wheel to be lighter than an aluminum one, but that's clearly not the type of steel wheel being discussed.
