dferym is infamous around these parts
Mesh style wheels looks the best on Porsches, I was never a fan of your previous Works. I think it'll look better in satin. I like the concave look.

As far as I know, his setup did not rub, mostly due to slightly stretched tires and the drop/camber. It was extremely close though. Just milimeters from rubbing.

Do they have these or something similar made using the flow-formed method? I like these, but I would like something lighter.

His last set of wheels rubbed front and rear, we were able to get him a proper setup without any rubbing on the same tires!

True forged, rotary forged, low pressure cast, or regular cast?

Can you explain the differences?

Google will probably do a better job, but forged monoblocks are the lightest and strongest, being cut from a single block of forged aluminum, and where the forgings are made actually makes a difference with US made T6061 forgings being the highest grade and Chinese made forgings being not as good.

Cast wheels are a lower grade where molten metal is poured into a form and can end up with small voids in the metal, compromising the strength and integrity a bit.

Flow forged and low pressure cast are in the middle, with molten metal being introduced to the form with a little pressure that helps eliminate the voids. Flow forming takes a low pressure cast wheel and uses rotation and pressure to shape the barrel, making it a bit stronger.

I would not track a car with anything other than a true forged wheel, but for a street car, low pressure cast and rotary forged are OK - I'd avoid regular cast.
