Low pressure cast wheels are pretty light compared to traditional cast wheels. Its a more affordable way to get into a lightweight wheel without spending the amount a forged wheel demands

Still far too rich for me... the P40's still look better too.

P40S would be awesome but those are big $$. Set you back more than $6K for a set of 4. These are based on the P40 and half the price.

Pretty expensive for a TSW Nurburgring with an HRE stamp.

Starting at 19s? Too big for this car imo, 18s would have been quite nice.

That's not even remotely a good price when companies like WORK, Vossen, Forgestar etc offer the same technology for much less.

I would go HRE over TSW any day but thats just me. Also there are only so many ways to skin a cat.
Another knock off. Comes down personal preference
