you're so wrong.
TE37SL are not 10ton forged, neither are TE37.
TE37 are 8000 ton forged, SLs are flow form forged. Vastly different manufacturing techniques at vastly different costs as well.
TE37SL is slightly lighter because of the redesigned center bore and backspacing area but it does not accommodate center caps. Also parts of the spokes were re-CND'd where strength was not compromised. It was not redesigned to accommodate even larger brakes either, it was made to fill a gap in the market that truly forged wheels couldn't because of manufacturing costs. Before you make statements, check your facts.
