the article states other wise, it says most people decide based on forged vs cast, and they are saying that is not always the case. I would agree from my understanding is rigidity how much force required before the wheel malforms, where as strength is the amount of force before the wheel breaks. So while a forged wheel maybe stronger its may not be as rigid. Now don't quote me on that its been many years since my material science class, and I am a computer/electronics engineer, so you can imagine I do not regularly test strength and rigidity.johnny_d wrote:how does one determine the ridgity of a wheel?
forged wheels are about 3 times stronger than cast wheels

Good question. I don't know a way to determine the ridgitity of a wheel with out destroying it.spockrock wrote:

Nice wheels bro. Much better than stock. I'm sure the pictures don't do them justice!

Re: Finally, Volk Racing RE30 installed (jmack)
Thank everyone for the compliments. I really like them. I wanted a "sleeper" look, I don't want the "look at me, I got aftermarket wheels" look.
At first glance, you will probably think that I have stocks wheels, like someone said earlier, but if you take a closer look, you will notice the huge difference.
Anyone want to buy by stock wheels and tires? (I have 6000 miles on them).
Next on my list:Nismo or Stillen cat back.Sway bars (when available)
