Rohanna makes some of the most concave sets around, if that's the style you want and will pay a bit more for their rotary forged versions that would be a good plan vs. their cell cast line. FWIW the RC7 look in deep concave is quite impressive IMO.

Curious what size tires you are running. If you have rubberband tires then you are asking for it.

One of the best deals out there for a strong forged wheel would be some OEM 370z wheels or OEM wheels from a GT-R, these are made by Rays which also make the stellar Volk brand of wheels. These OEM GT-Rs can be found for $1500 or less and the 370Z wheels for $1k in some of the used market places.

For aftermarket wheels, true forged wheels are quite expensive, expect to pay at least $600 each for a true forged wheel. Here's an example between a Flow formed (which is form of casting that's stronger & lighter that regular cell cast) vs. a true forged wheel.
Click on the link, then check the price difference between the GTF01 (forged)vs. the GTV01(flowformed)

Good brands for a mid-budget wheel that's still stronger & lighter than your current cast wheels are the flow formed Work Emotion line, Rays "Gramlite", Wedssport, Forgestar, SSR GTV line, and some Enkei wheels.
