Yeah its pretty damn crazy the production process. Those "robotic" workers must cost a pretty penny, not to mention the technology involved to have everything built to the exact millimeter.

Imagine... all the different styles of rims, the different offsets + boltpatterns... thats a whole lot of rims to be produced.

Anytime fellas, I have learned so much about automobiles because of this website its the least I can do.

Forged are better. Stronger, lighter, sexier than your stock Acura wheel.

Forged, spin-molded, pressure molded, casted.....

Forged is the best, like the previous poster said, stronger, lighter--due less impurity, no (or less) air voids, and tempered.
