Almost 30k miles in the first year. Lots of stress free road trips were taken.

Seen a heap of wheels in that style for sale. Not one had a load rating good for 750kg.
In that style... well there lies your problem. TE37s is likely THE most replicated wheel in the aftermarket world. Reps are everywhere.
Genuine Volk Racing TE37 Ultras are load rated for 750kg+ and are JWL+R Spec 2
And actually come in 8.5"/9.5" 45P off the shelf! Too bad they are cost prohibitive.
They are indeed expensive, but worth every penny. Resale value on Volks typically are pretty close new especially if they are in good shape. Au costs maybe much higher than say even the US but they usually come by the container loads from Japan. For those that love swamping wheels like sneakers, buying new, running them for a year and then flipping them for something else without significant loss is always a bonus.
I will have to get you to talk to my accountant. I found some stylish enough 750kg rated ones that come in at a quarter of the price.
Potholes are under control in my neck of the woods so I will chance the cast wheels. Photo to come later next month when everything shows up.
Almost 30k on the Y, most of it has been on MPP coilovers and aftermarket wheels.

Taking advantage of a rare washed car:
^ On the county road that I use to get to my house. The tallest peak is Mt. Sneffels, 14,158 feet (4315 meters). It is featured on the front of Colorado driver's licenses. Heading out Saturday on a 7000 mile road trip to Canada and the eastern US.

OOF!
AGAIN with the backgrounds . . . . you should warn people and/or hide such gruesome scenes with a "spoiler" cover when using this forum!
Again, I'm deeply sorry you have to live near such a godforsaken hell hole.

I was disappointed that the air wasn't as clear by afternoon as it was in the morning. This is the same sort of picture in 2016 with my then new-to-me Model S60:
And this is what the south view looks like from our neighborhood picnic area at Inspiration Point:
^ 14 May 2014, the wide angle panorama makes the mountains look farther away than they appear in person. The actual distance to the mountains is eleven miles.
Little Ouray County, population about 5000, has been my home for twenty-five years!
