Forging wheels is done using a very powerful press -- tens of thousands of tons of pressure. Think of a blacksmith hammering a horseshoe -- that's a forging process. It results in a very strong finished product, but is extremely expensive to do.
Flow-form casting involves heating the aluminum to near-melting -- it's like soft butter -- and then pushing it into a mold. It's still more of a casting process than a forging, but the result is stronger than if you simply poured liquid metal into a mold.

...and also, some info on the company / where the wheels are made?

Made in asia, by a company that produces wheels for many other aftermarket and OEM private labels.
