Default Cast vs Forged...

I was just wondering. Aside from forged wheels being significantly lighter than cast they also say forged wheels are also stronger but just how much stronger??

just curious that's all

Regards,

I would imagine its hard to put a number on the answer to that question. Im sure there's some members on here with some bent cast 20's that will be glad to argue the point of forged being much stronger than cast.

It's just like toast...... Bread is the cast wheels and forged is toast bread where it is compressed and made stronger. So like kickball being made into a baseball......
