totally understand... are they good quality rims should be a little lighter than my stock ones? I like the stock rims i have but the concave look is perfect for the car

Are those the same ones I purchased ? Are they deep concave in the back of yours.

Mine are HREs in 20s. I imagine the "deep" is the same as they are 20s as opposed to your 19s.

They're not forged level wheels. They are flowforged and non-customized wheel. Definitely cheap but great beaters.

Aside from the fact that they aren't forged, yet have forged in the brand name lol. they are decent wheels by a decent company. They are also not going to be the absolute lightest, but for what you paid, you would be hard pressed to get anything better, so they were a good buy.

19" Forgestar F14 Porsche 997 996 991 Turbo C4S Deep Concave Forged Wheels Rims | eBay
I run these on my c7 z06, great wheels for the money. They have a lot of concave on the rear, not so much front. They are lighter and are not forged wheels but at a huge price difference. I think for street wheels they are just fine but I would not track with them. I ran AG's on my 997.1 which worked great for me at a great cost, unfortunately my new to me 997.2 S is a center lock car and I had to spend more money for wheels.
