Wow that is really cool. A lot of specialized labor there and I appreciate the forklift driver's skills. I guess they forge it then it's CNC machined after from that pancake? Video ends too soon.

There used to be a very cool (old) video of Porsche Fuchs being produced, but I couldn't find it.
I believe the pedal shape is stamped (forged), then the wheel shape is flow formed (spun). Very little, if any CNC machining required. At 1:00 you can see the flow forming process on a non-Porsche Fuchs - https://youtu.be/_rWYPhUOoTI

I would love to see their finishing steps when they produced the chassis five petal design. They appear to be dipped into the paint after anodizing.
