a lot of companies, big name and small ones, that claim forged wheels are usually forged faces with cast barrels (or was it the other way around? i forgot). true one piece forged wheels are rare and expensive.

Basically 14.5lbs for 18x8? Jesus...

Me, I put beautiful, lightweight, super strong wheels before tail lights, leds, fake carbon fibre and other such things.

They'll easily last as long as I keep the car and being top quality will retain a lot of resale value if you choose to flick them. I won't though. I'm a "Do it once, do it right" kind of person.

Thank you coyote. I am going to put in an order for these wheels because of you.

CCW, HRE, etc are machining forged ingots and barrels. While they are "forged" at the core, they are not of the same quality, strength, or weight of a 1 piece forged wheel.

Note that those "forged" wheels are typically 2 or 3 piece wheels, so that they can accommodate more designs and cars, and can do "custom offsets" by just using a different barrel.

I'm still shocked at the 14lbs!

Very impressive to say the least

My CE28N were manufactured in 2003. A little surface corrosion but no cracks or bends that I can see. I bet these wheels can last longer than the car.

I always get the TWS and TSW brand mixed up, lol.
