izzy is correct...not to be off topic but here is a prime example...i have a 05 tahoe that had 24" foose speedstar 6's on it which are a cast, not to mention heavy as F*#k...i had to upgrade to a baer brake racing kit for all 4 corners because of the increase in rotational mass. I now have a newer 07 tahoe with i-forged equip wheels. let me tell you you definitely get what you pay for in terms of manufacturing for a wheel. My old cast 24's were around 85lbs a piece for the wheel/tire combo and my newer iforged wheels with tires weigh almost half of that pretty similar to what i had stock. forged wheels are the way to go less rotating mass=better performance. thats why i am planning on investing for my si on some volk racing ce28n 10 spoke.....gunmetal ....oh yeah
