What does forged mean?

 

forged wheel is a very light wheel, yet strong and dense. Enthusiasts for high performance in their cars almost exclusively use forged wheels.

On comparing what alloy wheels are on the market you will find that most are one-piece cast wheels, not forged wheels.

and incase you need more detailed info

What is the difference between a forged wheel and cast wheel in the manufacturing processes?

The term “forged” refers to making an alloy wheel by forcing a raw block of metal into a shape with extreme pressure. Forging is an expensive, multi-stepped process.

The casting process involves putting liquified aluminum into a mold. The wheel is formed as the aluminum cools. This process is achieved in different ways, including gravity casting and low-pressure casting.

Gravity bleeding takes much longer but I hear that's a one man job too right?

 

I've always done it old school....wife or a buddy pushes on the pedal then holds while I loosen the bleeder

Thanks for the vid. The way he describes it, the old fluid goes into the reservoir in the hand pump which is what I thought.

So it's fine for the old fluid to mix with the new fluid in the brake reservoir in the engine bay? I think mine is sitting right at the MIN level.

 

Ok got the SKUNK2 Intake Plenum Spacer and was thinking about getting the Kinetix plenum add to it. Is it just a waste of money or will it give me some more power.
