forged wheels being stronger than cast wheels that's just a general concept imho. baasically it means that the forged processs will allow the wheel construction to be stronger than that of cast.

but you still have to factor in the exact material used and also the design. for example, from what i read, jdm cast wheels, although they are cast, they are very strong (especially works, volks, etc...) coz' of their design
