Track Wheels input needed

I am looking for a set of track wheels for my c4s. 19 or 20 inch. I see that there is a big price difference between flow forged wheels and fully forged wheels. Can you really see/feel the difference on track? I understand that the fully forged wheels are a couple pounds lighter but does it justify the price difference. I will be doing around 15 track days per year.

I would really appreciate your thoughts and comments.

The best track wheels are the ones that are banged up already. 19" rubber is less costly than 20" and keeps your car a little lower to the ground all things being equal. You won't see the benefit of forged vs cast on a street car going on the track. Buy takeoffs from someone with a base Carrera looking to upgrade.
