But lets add to the Heirarchy of the production method.
Gravity Cast
Low Pressure Cast
Double Chamber Pressure Cast
Flow Form Cast (Spun Cast)
Forged: Monoforged, 2PC Forged, 3 PC Forged

From the company's we carry and those that I know in the BMW market. Lets add where they are made, I think that should be a factor as well. We could also add certifications.
If I need to add explanation on Flow Form or forged methods I guess I could.
