Found on Autoblog.com. Has video showing wheels being manufactured. Might be interesting to folks in this forum.

 

That was awesome!
Thanks for posting it.

 

I had no idea forging Al was so slow!

explains the huge cost difference between cast and forged

 

get "cold flowed" like the spun rims used with the forged centers....

Seems like the only difference is really in the hub/spokes....

Thought I saw my CE28s in the video! Cool.

 

Thanks for posting the link to the video. That is neat to see.

 

Great video thanks

 

Some companies offer very high quality wheels no matter if forged or cast. They have there own standards and the prices are reflected in their products.

The video was interesting. Thanks.

 

um, BBS

 

I have had 16x7 CE28N's for about 3 years now, and I'm very happy with their durability. They've seen their share of potholes, and even a couple of exciting off-road excursions.

10.75 lbs... and tough!

I paid something like 300 bucks each (cash), no tax or shipping charges as I picked them up at a local distributor. I saw other wheels for 200 something each, but they weren't as light, and their reputation for durability more questionable. Tax and shipping put them almost at the same price as the Volks... so it was a no-brainer.

 

I've got 16x7 TE37's on the way.....video is cool, thanks!
