PSA: Check your wheels regularly
#22
I time out the Advanti Storm S1's after 8 tires based upon my history with them. I've since switched to the S2 as it looks like a stronger design for 4-lug hubs. Still monitoring those to determine when they need to be retired. Sometimes, I end up retiring wheels for bends before they time out.
As for steel wheels, I've begun running a vintage Formula Ford race car (a 1969 Lotus Type 61). The class requires steel wheels and there are shops that custom build them. I haven't purchased any yet, but I'll take a look at the PO's receipts to see who he bought from. Standby . . . . As you might expect, there is a definite weight penalty for steel wheels.

Diamond : Diamond Custom Wheel
Fortunately, a 13x5.5 isn't "that" heavy even in steel. A 15x9 though . . . .

I have a set of black Gen 4s (c. 2015) that came with the car. I was using the silver Gen 2s because I preferred the colour, which, in retrospect, was not a wise choice. On the plus side, I did manage to get allofit out of the old ones. What's the old saying: The best-engineered race car will completely fall to pieces just over the finish line.
