Volk Forged Mag Wheels
Does anyone have any experience with Volk Forged Mag wheels like the TE37 Mag or Forged Mag Spoke style wheels? Or any other Forged Mag wheels for that matter. Mag is about 10% lighter than Al. Any other pros/cons?

Might not be a good choice for the street.

Aps,
It depends on the particular wheels your talking about. Size, Type etc.
Its AU$980 for 19" Forged Volk GTC 9.5" wide wheels but only US$500 for some volk wheels maybe less.
Forged wheels are lighter than normal mag wheels as the forging process strengths the metals so you dont need as much of it. So it would be more than just the metal weight savings, theres also less of it. And this is unsprung rotational weight, not just normal weight savings.
