Are our Stock Wheels Forged!?
 
Ok....Someone told me this.

our stock wheels are forged....

i didn't believe it really, he told me to look at the inner of our wheel wells, he said their stamped forged!....

Search here but nothing..

Can anyone answer this?

At the price they charge for them, they had better be.

not the stockers, but they do offer some Mazdaspeeds that are Ray's and I believe they are forged. The G35 has a 19" package that is forged and Ray's as well. maybe your friend has those confused? :dunno:

All "Forged" wheels are 2-piece or 3-piece wheels.

Single piece wheels like our stock ones, are always cast (and much cheaper, although no dealer-only supplied part will ever be cheap).

Given that, there are some very fine cast wheels out there like the Enkei RPF1 that so many here are fond of.

There are many forged one piece wheels. For starters, Volk Racing CE28Ns. Our stockers are cast though.

Not all forged wheels are 2 piece etc, and not all 2/3 piece are forged either. (silly but true) There are a large number of one piece forged wheels out there, just google it and you'll pull up tons of stuff.
