I'm probably misremembering, but these are HF20i's aren't they? If so, aren't they all Forged?
Im only going off what is for sale on ebay,mine cost $1169 plus $100 postage on special from agr wheels,the forged ones i see advertised are over $2000,some up to $2600 a set without tyres,mine were advertised as hsvi genuine wheels.
I think the forged ones may have a hsv stamp,mine just have a gm stamp.
Part no of my wheels-92253717, i couldnt find the forged hsvi wheel part no?
Just found barry bourke holden selling my exact same rim with same part no and says its forged?
Id love it if my wheels are forged,maybe thats why the people asking over 2 grand dont list a part number?
Hope im wrong and the wheels are forged:)

They are

You can tell if you look at the back of the wheel. No casting marks etc.

Thats why i cant find a different part number then.
I love being wrong about things like this.
Spun out that other sellers are asking the prices they are,agr is half the price.

The stamp inside says 'dicastal'...
Oooops ... not sure now...however Dicastal seems ro be the name of the company making these

Same part here and add says forged...

Mine are laying in the long grass down the backyard and I just checked the markings and they look similar to yours and they say 'diecastal'.

They're off a VF2 Redline and as far as I understand the VF2 Redline didn't come with forged rims.

I read the barry bourke add, says the wheel is forged.

The standard VF2 Redline wheels weren't Forged, but Holden were marketing the optional black 20"HSVi HF20's as Forged.

Mine are the black 20" HF20 in staggered fitment.

I optioned them when ordering the car but I've never really liked black rims so I never intended to leave them on.

I took them off the week I picked up the car and have never looked at them since.

If they are forged that's a bonus for the garden.

Diecastal…. I have always interpreted that as Die Cast Aluminium/Alloy. All ( I think) my genuine Holden alloys have that stamp.

Edit............….Nope... my Ford rims do.
