I'll add separately that a good, spun cast wheel can often provide many of the strength benefits and low weight. Many of the latest OZ offerings fill the bill very well.

fastmd is infamous around these parts
You live in NJ, forged wheels are the way to go. I have bent so many "quality" cast wheels it equals the price of many cars.

Boy, you got that right! I lost two tires recently to potholes - I have lost maybe two in the entire rest of my driving life (which, frighteningly is getting ever closer to 40 years long). Makes me wonder if I should switch the 991 to run flats when the wheel and tire insurance runs out!

Forgetting about the impact it might have on ride quality (I've never driven a car with run-flats but I've heard bad things), does anyone make run-flats in a tire size to fit a 991? Not sure about that.

Good info on ADV and on HRE. Thanks. When I see something that makes me stop in my tracks, I will likely by them.
