Rotor alloy Cast or Forged

Post by Brooner » Sat Jan 07, 2017 6:39 am

As the topic says and the C7 RS6 21 alloy deformed list grows
can anyone tel me if the Rotors are cast or forged
as i would hope there forged as these from what i read are stronger

Cheers

Hi Brooner

From memory only ... and from about 2.5 years ago when I checked it all out before buying my RS4:

The standard spoke wheels were forged and lighter .. and allegedly stronger
The V Spoke and Rotor wheels were both cast and heavier.

I "think" it was about 1kg per wheel the diff ... but then maybe I think too much :biggrin3:

thanks for that not really worried about them bending as there seems to be no reports of that like of the RS6
so thanks for the clarification just another bit of info for my geek mind :biggrin3:
