Think Your Forged rims are expensive?
 
Imagine how much this costs. +1000 MPH wheels for the thrust SSC world record car.

Skip to 2:40 for the good stuff.

Volk racing are 10,000-ton forging

most important is what material being used... if you hear what material is used... that is the secret... the grade of aluminum is higher than traditional forged wheel...

your welcome! People often look at tonnage of forging, but reality is that aluminum heated and in a soft state, 3000 or 10000 ton will achieve virtually the same identical effects since if they are pressed against a die mold. Just think clay playdo on a larger and hotter scale...lol.

Goddamn look at the art of them turning that into a wheel. The little movements of the lift operator in conjunction with the press. Fascinating.

Just imagined the above statement while watching the video and with Planet Earth narrator's voice. It was magical. :D
