[SEL] My Ignorance - Forged Welded Wheels

[Paul Maples]

Thanks Glen,

It seems strange to me if they could cast the main part of the rim why they 
could not cast the whole rim without it having to hammer welded. I 
appreciate the response as this is comforting. I take it that these welds 
are plenty good as they are and need no further re-inforcing by additional 
welding?

Thanks,

Paul
