Z/28 repro strength

Any idea if the z/28 & zl1 repro wheels will hold up on FI cars getting 650/700 rwhp?

My wife's FR style 41 have done fine on few HPDE. I will use my MRR 228 for HPDE and drag. Only 380 rwhp though.

Eventually autocross. For now cruising, "spirited" backroad driving, aggressive zero traffic highway driving. With a heavy car making more torque i worry about the wheels being the weak link.

(Zero traffic highway driving ) lol that's funny , yea I do a lot of that . The optimal wheel choice would be a forged wheel lighter stronger . That being said
The MMR z28 replica wheels look badass. A track dedicated car not a good choice . Spirited driving , sum auto x , z28 replica wheel will hold up just fine
