I just bought these rims but I'm wondering if they are forged or cast? Some wheel weights are saying they are cast...


side note: sorry for the double post no one seems to know over the civic forum so if any of you guys know...thanks in advance

 

anybody? no body knows for sure if they're cast or forged?

 

forged arent they?

 

I don't know...I'm a little confused...as much as they cost I would take it they are forged but wheelweights.net says it's cast

 

they are cast

 

so why do they cost so much? more than CE28Ns which are forged...just for the name Advan?

 

what is the size and weight of these? its easier to tell from there.. most likely not forged.. maybe semi-forged at the most

 

15x7 = 11.4lbs
16x7 = 12.7lbs

 

arent the RG's and SSR comps the same rims. I believe the Comps are Forged

 

i don't think they're the same rims.. ssr comp are semi forged

 

they're not the same the SSR Comps are SSF

 

cast

 

are you sure? how did you find out?

 

i got this wheel guide saved.. they would be lighter if forged..

 

that kind of suck then that they cost an arm and a leg...so what advantages do they have over other cast rims such as rotas and gramlights?

 

hey, ask your self this. do you like the rims? if so whats your beef.

have a beer, enjoy your delicious rims

 

I agree...I'm just a little disappointed that they cost that much and they're forged...

 

well look at it this way, they wont bend like a stick of slim jim...

 

hahaha..oh god I hope not...thanks for the support Mr. Sha

 

Not sure, but this is maybe something you should have asked BEFORE you bought them? Might wanna do some more research next time

 

advantages --> looks/weight...
unless you plan to drive over large holes in the road and curbs - i don't see a problem with cast wheels.. i'd think these wheels should be alright as long as they're not replicas of some forged wheel like rotas copy mugen or racing hart which meant to be cast. On other hand slipstreams fat spokes do the job well.

 

no problem man. i have a set of rims for my car that cost more than most rims for big trucks. they are forged. 700 a pop for 17's. but i live them to death and one of few that have them on my car. it makes me happy

 

I don't regret buying them at all....just a little disappointed that they weren't forged but in the end I think this wheels looks hot

 

RG = cast but who cares about if they r forged or cast as long as u like it !! also lot of OEM wheels r made by cast i don't c any problem with cast rims..

 

I know there's nothing wrong with cast rim I just think Advan is making too much money on RGs...haha
