what the hell is cast?
cast is a cheaper way of making a wheel. the expensive racing wheels are strong and light, and they are made this way by means of forging.
a forged wheel is stamped out kinda making it strong with less wieght.

a cast wheel is most common, its basicly pouring hot alloy into a form and letting it harden, a cheaper more common construction. there are some good cast wheels, just some suck

my question is "do these rims look any different than The LTW rims"?

They look different. The original 95 LTW wheels were staggered 7.8 and 8.5, were painted silver and had "BMW" stamped on the opposite side of the "Motorsport" on the face.
