In Reply To	There is no advantage with billet compressor wheels though posted by Ashman2k2 on September 01, 2010 at 12:24 PM
Message	Heard back from Billet on the performance diference between cast and billet wheels: "The billet wheels do have a larger vein area over cast versions so you can expect approximately 10% depending on your engine setup" Not sure what 10% refers to though...is it 10% more power, more flow, or... FWIW, Garrett claims a 10% improvement in flow with the GTX-R series billet wheels
