 the four round metal things between us and the road are really important after all, we owe it to them to pay attention to what they need once in a while.

 The distribution of mass about the rotational axis is what affects the way a wheel behaves and how it affects handling and stability of the vehicle.

 there are three ways to make a wheel. One is a cast wheel, one is a forged wheel and one is sort of a combination is what we call a cast flow form wheel.

 cast wheel or forged wheel? cast wheel has a much higher strength and is lighter. Also has a thinner cross section which allows us to use a thinner barrel which will reduce impact protection.

 What are the differences between the different construction methodologies? Either one piece forged wheel or two piece or a three piece? And first it's best to explain what those are.
