First, casting wheels and forged wheels are different in terms of manufacturing process.

Casting is the process of melting the metal into a liquid that meets certain requirements and then pouring it into the casting tool, after cooling and solidifying, the casting has a predetermined shape, size and performance after cleaning treatment. While forging is the use of forging machinery on the metal grudge material pressure, so that it produces plastic deformation to obtain a certain mechanical property, a certain shape and size forgings processing method.

The cost between the two types of wheels is also different, the casting process is relatively simple and brutal easy to mass production, so the cost is relatively low, while the forging process is more complex, so the production cost is more expensive. There is also the fact that forged wheels are made by continuous hammering, so its molecules are very compact and neatly arranged, which causes its strength and toughness to be better compared to casting, which means that forged wheels are stronger.

In terms of weight, the raw materials of forged wheels are continuously stamped during the production process, so they can withstand higher pressure after forming. At the same time, under the same size and strength, forged wheels are also lighter than cast wheels, generally about 20% heavier than forged wheels. However, forged wheels have the disadvantage that their metal ductility is not very good, and the price is more expensive, mainly suitable for high-end models.

To sum up, I still suggest that owners who have the conditions can tend to choose forged wheels, so that the wheels are safer from the details and can get a better driving experience. If you feel that forged wheels are too expensive, you can decide to use forged embryos manufactured by spinning wheels, which are similar to forged wheels in terms of performance, but cheaper and more cost-effective.

In addition, when selecting a wheel, car enthusiasts should not only look at the type of manufacture of the wheel, but also pay attention to the size of the structure of the wheel. Although oversized wheels can improve the stability of the car, but in the shock absorption capacity and comfort will be very poor, so select the wheel or listen to the advice of professionals to select the right three distance wheels.
