Random Little Question Thread
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.

How exactly does the mityvac bleeder work? I have this one:

So do I put the new fluid in the brake fluid reservoir (in the engine bay) or do I put it in the small reservoir that is attached the hand pump? The instructions in the manual don't make much sense to me.

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.
If you're talking about the two parts I think you are, they're not at all compatible.
