That is why the wheels ARE stronger than straight cast wheels, but not as strong as true forging. This is also why Varrstoen TE37 replicas weigh like 28lbs for a 19x10.5, and Sportlines (GREAT replicas) weigh 24lbs. In true forging you take a BIG ASSS piece of aluminum, heat it until it's red hot and SMASH THAT BITCH with tens of thousands of pounds of pressure into the rough shape of your wheels. And authentic TE37s in the same size weigh 21-22lbs



... Last I checked... You had TE37s...
