Do you understand the difference between a 6061-T6 FORGING and a sand casting (e.g. A356)?

The forging is 1.5X as strong (35,000 PSI YIELD vs. 24,000 PSI YIELD for the casting).

In other words, the forged wheel could weigh roughly TWO-THIRDS that of its cast counterpart and still be just as strong.

Thus, a 14 pound FORGED 15" wheel is actually quite strong.

Yes I understand.

so my 9.9lb Forged wheels are going to break? any minute now?

Are my wheels considered racing wheels and have an inferior build to your centerlines?

I don't know nor do I care.

A 10 pound wheel - forged or not - is pushing the limits of durability on pothole filled streets - assuming the wheel isn't very narrow (e.g. 5" wide).

sweet.

So what happens when you find out your 15" centerline weighs 11lbs?
