How do you tell the difference between forged and cast clubsports? Anything that I should be looking for on the wheels, a mark or somthing?
Thanks in advance |

part numbers would be the easiest method..... you need to identify at least one or the other......
if you know what to look for, sometimes one can visually see the casting or forged differences (cast normally more course and pourous), forged more smooth. the forged wheels of the same size should be lighter....and cost, the forged are more expensive (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |

All "club sport" wheels SHOULD be forged. 928 had Club sport wheels in 8 and 9" x16 I think the 911 had them also different offset. |
