For Wheel Pros
Hey, I have two questions for you. First, what's the difference between Racing Hart CP-035 and Racing Hart CP-35? Is it that the first ones are forged and other ones are cast? I know that CP-035 are very lightweight. Around 13 lbs for 17x7. Second question would be what is the weight of 17x7 CP-35? I guess it should be more.

The Cast 35's are still light, but they are no where near as strong. The Forged units are about $400-$450 a wheel, the cast units are about $100-$150 a wheel.
The cast units tend to bend and break, the forged units are practicaly indestructable. But...you can go though 3 complete sets of the cast wheels and still be cheaper than the forged units...
The forgeing is what makes them expensive. It puts them in the same catagory/price range as Volk TE-37s.
