Lenelsa,

As you have seen there is a great difference in price between cast wheels and forged wheels. We have been around the forged wheel business long enough to know that the forged wheel maker is not profiting any greater than the lower priced cast wheel maker, in fact it is likely the other way around. Qaulity raw products cost money to purchase and then turn into quality finished products.

There is nothing wrong with a quality cast wheel. Note I said quality wheel. For the street, they are likely just fine. If you plan to track your car, consider using the OE wheels or an aftermarket Forged wheel.

We sell a lot of wheels made by Fikse and Forgeline, two of the premier brands for forged wheels. If I can answer any questions, shoot me an email or a PM.
