I've read on this forum a few posts/threads that have stated that the BMW Style 167 M (OEM) wheels are forged. The local BMW dealer's parts department has told me that those wheels are cast. Can anyone confirm if the wheels are forged or cast???

According to this post...166's are cast
http://www.e60.net/information/options/wheels/
I would think 167's are as well, although in this thread...memeber states VT 167's are possibly forged...

this thread also briefly discussed it...

again, stating forged 167's...
