Just wanted to clarify that Paintpro21 is not the co-founder of Alufelgen Wheels.

Also, although i`m not a fan of Forgestar I have to say that using the word "Forge" on their name is not entirely misleading. Flow-forming applies heat and pressure to form the metal and alter its mechanical properties thus could be consider forging. Technically, it "forges" the metal via forming/spinning, while conventional forging does this by pressing. Hope this is clear.

Flow-forming is one of the best technologies/manufacturing methods available today. However, Forgestar has given this technology a very bad reputation.
