And price. I saw "forged" thrown around with this wheel but I doubt they would be so cheap if they were fully forged.

And as noted, the weight savings vs. a fully forged wheel isn't there.

That said, price is fantastic for an OEM wheel.
BC forged wheel are around $4k a set for custom wheels. $3200 for a forged mass produced wheel doesn't seem that crazy.

Compared to market, BC Forged is way cheaper. I almost went that route but was too concerned about wait time if I bent a wheel.

I was comparing to a "name brand". For example my BBS wheels were - $3300 for flow formed. FI-R is like $9-$10k. I would imagine a true forged OEM wheel would be similar.

I would assume that does not apply to damage during shipping.
