I need help from SE Michigan guys because I'm sure you understand my dilemma. To date, I have bent 5 wheels (17" Team Dynamics) from just driving I-94 and Southfield daily and I can not afford to keep replacing wheels. I like the BTCC look (14-15 spokes) but I do not know what wheel to go after that is strong enough to stop this "wheel bending" from happening.
I had thought of going after the ST200 wheels thinking that this may be stronger coming from an OEM.
I don't think I can fit forged wheels into the budget.
Does anyone know whether this is true?
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Anything is better than team dynamics. Ask Spatt.

Don't buy Konig Imagines ..they do not bend. They break, nice and cleanly too......2 so far and they have been on the car less than a year.

If your looking for strong rims maybe you'll want to look at the FSVT rims, seeing that they have to take the abuse because there OEM  In July I'm getting new rims and if one of sources can get me a set, I'm getting the FSVT rims

I'm selling them to Mancho (ConnietheContour) for $500.00, which is less than I originally said because I got these little scratches on them at SZ and I'm not sure how it even happened  The tires have 14K on them and the wheels, well you know how the wheels look and are taken care of
