Hey I'm just going to note this with light weight wheels. The lighter they are the more easily they buckle.
Even the factory stuff. Mazda had massive problem with some of the late 80's care even my old factory 15's - a few large holes and at 80km/h it was shake rattle and roll. Had to balance them every month or 2 weeks.
Go to some cheap heavy 17's and or actually my mid weight as I like ot say 16's abotu the same as my old 15s now in perth. Was never as bad.

Understand light weight wheels are great on track but Pot holes and these wheels don't work.

I had a set of M 5series motor sport 18's from a 530I because 1 of them had a massive flat spot - with fracture and the other had fractures. All from pot holes. These wheels sat in my back yard so long I ened up selling them for scrap. As it's all they were good for. 18's I picked up with one index finger. ( I do have strong hands but working with them day and night)
