What are the big advantages of billet wheels versus the stock wheels. I assume they flow better and hold up better to objects such as dust? Don't know. Just see all this 2.6 charger hype on comD and had this question
turbo wheel material?

Titanium has to be the trick deal over any cast, cost on the T wheel would put us in shock no doubt. Probably cause an overdraft and divorce in alot of houses if bought for a daily driver.
Ti is as tough as nails but it is heavy as sh!t. It will most likely make it even harder to lite these big chargers. I have a Ti S300 wheel and it lists for 1100.00
Sticker shock at $1100 for a wheel and then there is the subject of the wife. This mod would no doubt lead to divorce in 2 out of 3 who bought it I bet. They don't believe it's important to have that type of stuff in a truck. Carbon tech and ceramics too have alot to come in the future. I wondered about carbon fiber and a ceramic to increase flow, light weight maybe over metals with CF but not in my limits so you can bet Borg and Garrett have new stuff in the labs that will just be amazing for future units. Make Trent an 8 second tripper.
I would like to hear more on billet wheels not being good for a DD . how many have had failures? this is a future upgrade im looking into
