Q: Why forged wheels instead of cast for off-road use?
Forging compresses aluminum under enormous pressure, aligning the grain structure so the wheel comes out stronger and lighter than a cast equivalent. Off road that pays twice. Lower unsprung weight lets the suspension follow washboard and rock, and higher impact strength shrugs off hits that bend or crack cast wheels. On a heavy EV, wheel strength is a safety margin, not a luxury.
