Forged vs Flowformed wheels

Today I had a discussion with a friend, who is looking for some wheels for his Noble. He mentioned some Flowformed wheels. I've never heared of this technology, but he was saying that they are as good or better than forged wheels, as light or lighter and as strong or stronger.

Anybody has any idea?

Thx

Flow form / Rotary forged is stronger than cast wheels but is not stronger than "press" forged wheels. Flow form can be almost as light as forged or the same weight depending on the designs between the two comparable wheels. Prices between the two can be substantial which makes the flow form a "better" buy.
