I thought it was a little crazy. But that's just me. You think they'd offer something to entice forum members to buy direct.

FF designates flow formed production as opposed to low pressure cast, so they'll be lighter and stronger. If it's within your budget, spring for the FFs.

Generally speaking:

In strength (and price): low pressure cast<flow formed<forged
In weight: forged<flow formed<low pressure cast

There are some other manufacturing methods and specific wheels that challenge that generality, but it's a pretty good guide.

If you want details on even more manufacturing subcategories, check here:

Go flow formed, if you can afford it. Lighter, stronger wheel. More expensive for a better quality construction. Given the design you've chosen, V810s are even better IMO.
