The other question I have is why would you spend $4000 on a set of cast mag wheels instead of finding someone who can forge them.

A set of forged wheels is going to be 10x the strength of cast wheels, and shouldn't cost that much (if any) more to make.

I'd be willing to bet that if you took a bunch of detailed pictures and measurements from your aluminum wheels and sent them to the last link in my post above (the Chinese one) they could reverse engineer the wheel and make them for $500 a piece in forged magnesium.
