MB back in the day specified forged alloy wheels only. This was for strength and I suppose longevity. Several aftermarket versions of the bunt wheel came out after, German TUV approved, but not forged, rather cast alloy.
Some of these wheels are verging upon 40 years old. At least the OE ones...
Has casting/forging technology of non super-fancy racing wheels changed much in 40 yrs?
Is there a practical difference between cast and forged wheels, especially if carrying a TUV quality Rating and used on a highway driven car?
Aren't most cars' alloys just cast?
Thanks!
