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.

Looks great, incredible wheel, did you lower it? You I think are the first to list your upgraded wheel weight/tire though many have asked about it for months from other members, someone posted the stock wheel tire weighs 58 lbs which is why yours rides and handles so well and you do not need to upgrade your brakes. You should start a new thread on the benefits of forged wheels (and OMG the cost, do you own a bank? LOL) I would love to do something like this but I lost my winning MegaMillion ticket worth 112 million so I'm back to square one.
