just to be clear im talking about the 18" rims for the sedan not the 17"...and since the 19" are forged they will be a bit stronger right?

Even though the Sedan's 18" wheels look like the Coupe's 19" Forged Wheels, they are cast, not forged.

Cast wheels weigh more, and are not as strong as forged wheels.

Forged wheels weight less by using less but stronger metals maintaining the
same structural strengths as its heavy cast counterparts.

Structually, they should be close to the same.
