FORGED IN JAPAN / MADE IN JAPAN / LIGHT WEIGHT: Each wheel at Desmond starts as a solid piece of 6061 Aluminum. The forging process begins as the piece is compressed at 8,000 tons of pressure which develops the basic shape of the wheel. From there each wheel is machined to our precise specs and tolerances, thereby creating a true masterpiece. All wheels made in Japan by Taneisya. Taneisya has a strong motorsports wheel manufacturing background and has supplied Formula One wheels since 1993. When
