They're not forged and kind of heavy but very strong.

Don't get too caught up on a wheel being forged. A well designed cast wheel can be much better than a crappy designed forged wheel.

Jjparkusa let me know if you need any help with an aftermaket solution. Weights, models, anything you need, we'll discuss it.

like aus said

...like aus said, nothing wrong with cast wheels. I'm amazed how much people spend on "forged" wheels. Yes there is a weight savings if they are good forged wheels but still.
