I would bet money that if you blindfolded even a race car driver (as they got in, not during driving ) that they would not notice, "oh, this car is worse, it's wheels are clearly 2-3 pounds heavier per corner" nor would their track times change from such a small differance on a street car.
I never said forged> non forged and never said the weight difference was significant. Just giving the facts to op
