I saw this on another forum, and thought they were an amazing wheel for the money. They are done by the people at iForged/DTM Kreuz. So I'm willing to bet they're pretty damn good quality!

Introducing the worlds 1st 1 piece lightweight flow formed wheel lineup.
Flow Forming is a production procedure that turns the wheel (or rim section) over a special mandrel and three hydraulic rollers using tremendous pressure. The pressure and turning then force the rim area to form against the mandrel, creating the shape and width of the rim. During Flow Forming, the rim actually "flows" down to create the full rim width. During Flow Forming, pressure applied to the cast rim actually changes its mechanical properties, so its strength and impact values become similar to those of a forged rim. That translates to up to 15% less weight when compared to a standard cast wheel.
