Thats correct, even further most companies buy the center forged billet blans from the same source. All they do is mount the slugs in their cnc and let it run.

There is absolutely no reason any set of nice cnc wheels should cost more than $3500, other than people have this brand image built up in their heads that more $$$ = better quality.

the answer for the lugnut question is yes and no. yes it okay to use it but you cant torqe it like you do with with other lug nuts therefore your wheel is basically tight on 4 lug nut instead of 5. realistically 4 lugnut is good enough also its weight saving as well. 4 lug nut = 1lb of weight saving. i current dont use the factory lock nut for my iforge. but on my c4s i do since that is like my daily driver and the chance for my rim ot get stolen is much greater on that car.
