Nice. Very informative. I like how they were pouring the molten aluminum as if it were a beverage.

That was a pretty sweet video. I've always wondered how forged wheels were made, esp compared to the cast wheels.

That is amazing, they have a ton of expensive equipment, that explains why they cost so much. I will have my set one day.
