Abstract
An identifying mark is disposed in a cast-in recess that is formed in a raw casting that is subsequently transformed into an automotive roadwheel. The mark provides for a unique identification to thereby allow the progress of each wheel through its manufacturing process to be monitored and its manufacturing history to be memorialized. The same identifying mark may be relied upon by the auto manufacturer for similar purposes and by matching each wheel's ID to VIN of the vehicle to which it is mounted, the end user should remain traceable throughout the wheel's service life. The recess is positioned so as to protect the mark disposed therein during the manufacturing process as well during its end use.
