Buts thats just a reasoned opinion and not at all conclusive. All that tells me is that the 220M is forged. Does it say the 359M is cast? And just because there is a price difference doesn't necessarily mean 359M is not forged. Aren't these wheels manufactured by different companies? There is more that goes into pricing than materials and method of construction, such as marketing, equipment, facilities, etc.
