I guess that puts the forged idea to rest once and for all.
Once and for all? Why, because that PRICK said so?
You didn't even bother to ask him which version(s) of the Moab wheel he actually checked.

At least this prick knows forged rims are lighter than cast rims, so there is that.Once and for all? Why, because that PRICK said so?

In a nutshell.... Yes.Are *ALL* forged wheels lighter than cast wheels?
I regret starting this thread now. There is no need for name calling.
Well if it means anything, I just checked and the Moab wheels on my 2006 are indeed cast, much as I suspected.
If you can find a forged Moab wheel I’ll be shocked as hell. I’ve never heard anything about forged Moab wheels before, and if they truly were forged it would probably be in the build sheet or factory brochures.
I know if they were forged, the aftermarket bead lock folks would be all over that and not only all over it, they would request that you stop with the cast bullshit and keep looking until you find the forged versions. Until this thread, I've never even seen anything, not even a remote suggestion that there is a forged version of a Moab. That would be a very desirable and expensive wheel if true.@TJRick Just because you read it doesn't mean its true. Add to the fact that you don't know the basics behind if a forged wheel of the same design will be lighter or heavier than cast (its gonna be lighter). You admitted yourself you don't know that. Is this really the hill you want to die on? Or, just take the insult, thicken up your skin and say thanks for the education...Nothing is free in this world, some lessons cost more than others.
BTW, it wasn't even an insult...it was just a sarcastic remark with an F-bomb. You resorted to insults...
If you dig up the build sheet on a Rocky Mountain edition, does it call the rims forged? IIRC, they are an Alcoa rim are they not?Well if it means anything, I just checked and the Moab wheels on my 2006 are indeed cast, much as I suspected.

I think I said that already, Chief.
And just because the mighty Blaine said something doesn't automatically make it true either.
I can still read Blaine's posts...I don't think they're deleted. I'm just trying to help you get along. You got needlessly butthurt by a pretty innocuous sarcastic comment which was well deserved from your question that was asked twice (why are 06's lighter than the others?) If you ask a question, get an answer, then argue with the answer given...you deserve all the fuckin sarcasm dished and then some.And Blaine was the one who resorted to a sarcastic remark...
Chris has already deleted his posts in this thread. Why are you trying to keep this nonsense going?
Do you have anything to contribute to the original question?

I knew you really didn't want it to endI can't see any of his posts in this thread anymore. If they were not deleted, the powerful and attractive Blaine must have gotten more "butthurt" than I and put me on ignore.
I have been on a Ford truck forum for 15 years, and a Ford Mustang forum for 10, and that is the very first time I have had that happen. It looks like the local hero Blaine is the one who didn't want it tocan dish it but can't take it.
And someone should wash your potty mouth out with a good old-fashioned bar of American soap, Mike.
Meanwhile on pirate 4X4......I knew you really didn't want it to end
