The standard wheels aren't forged. But they're about the same weight as the forged optional wheels. So I stuck with the standard ones. It's personal but I prefer their appearance.

Hey Peter, these are the two forged options. Both 20s of course.

Correct. Cross-spokes are the forged ones. Five spokes are not forged and are 'free'.

Just to be clear, they're not forged but there's another thread here where they were all weighed and are within a few ounces of each other. Without the weight advantage, it comes down to design preference plus a theoretical increase in strength for the forged cross-spokes.

I'll buy that. Both styles look nice on the car for OEM wheels.
