are polished 2003 wheels forged?

[strand cruiser]

I had read that the painted wheels for a 2003 are cast, and that only the polished wheels were forged, with the Z wheels being spun cast.

This is the first time I had read of this detail , and am trying to confirm the information. MY 2003 didn't come with the OEM wheels , and I like the OEM because of the quality and the higher probability of finding stock tire sizes down the road.

The information I read gave no details , just a list of specs from the available options and the prices. I figured to go for a forged set if the polished wheels were in fact forged . As far as I can tell from pictures , they look the same except for the finishes.

Right now I will be trying to find identifying parts numbers, which the list I saw omitted.

Thank for any help.

Not sure but here is a pic of stock polished aluminum Z16 wheels for comparison purposes...
