How to Distinguish Between Cast Wheels and Forged Wheels?

[PresleyLee]

Here are the methods to distinguish between forged wheels and cast wheels: 1. Wheel Markings: Forged wheels usually have the word FORGED stamped on them, but some cast wheels may also have the same marking to pass off as forged. The color difference between the rim and spokes of forged wheels is noticeable and easy to identify; cast wheels are formed in one piece with no color difference. 2. Backside Details: The backside details of forged wheels are consistent, with both the front and back being smooth and shiny with good metal luster, while cast wheels may have a shiny front but a darker backside, with obvious mold marks or burrs (however, it cannot be ruled out that counterfeiters may polish the surface).
