What is the Difference Between Forged Wheels and OEM Wheels?

[Sarah]

Introduction to the differences between forged wheels and OEM wheels: 1. Different wheel weights: Forged wheels are made through high-strength forging, resulting in lighter weight compared to OEM wheels of the same size and style. Some cast wheels may mimic the appearance of forged wheels. 2. Different styles and types: Forged wheels, such as two-piece or three-piece designs, are typically assembled using rivets or welding (argon welding), with noticeable color differences between the rim and spokes. Cast wheels are formed in one piece without color variations. 3. Different sound when tapped: Known as the tapping method, using a small metal rod to tap the wheel, forged wheels produce a clear and crisp sound, while cast wheels produce a dull and muffled sound.
