Another wheel question
From what I've been reading, the bent, cracked wheel issues seem to be confined to the Grand Sport and Z06. I'm curious why there are not issues with the Stringray Z51 wheels. The 20 x10 rears would have the same loads as the front 19x10 on the Z06. Maybe more since the sidewall is shorter.
Just curious (and bored today).

The Grand Sport and Z06 wheels are cast. I have a set of ZR1 wheels which are Forged Spun which is a bit stronger on my Z06. Not sure which process the Stingray wheels are made from.
There was an lawsuit on the cracking/bending issues and it was recently dismissed in court.
