Lame question, but someone explain the difference between forged and casted wheels?

I think it is neither...
From Tirerack: "In a specialized process perfected by Alumax, uniquely structured alloy billets are heated to a semi solid state (the consistency of soft butter) and molded in a specifically engineered forging press. Through an exclusive contract with Alumax, SSR has further developed this technology and is the only manufacturer in the world today producing Semi-Solid Forged alloy wheels. This ultra high tech forging technology creates a very strong and light weight wheel ideal for street or track." I would guess this means both the rim and center are made in this process, but I can't find any info to verify this.
