When I was looking at 22" rims, I originally was looking at cast rims. Then after talking with Shorline Motoring and getting educated I started looking at forged rims. The cast rims would of added unsprung weight, which affects ride, handleing, wear and tear. The average cast 22" rim with tire is 75lb., my rims and tires weigh 56lb. When Paul at Shoreline test drove the car he said it was the best handleing "C" or Magnum he's ever driven, it's was also the first forged rim they've done. The cost of going to a forged rims start at $4500 with tires and as high as $8000+ for three piece. I would say this is the way to go, the car rides and handles great. The price for cast was between $2800-$3300(with tires).

The rims are Raceline Forged. My car was used for the test fit and the rims are a one off. They will have something available in a couple of month.
