I don't think they are forged.

The sport ones are forged though for sure, it says it right on the rim.

Bought you an automatic, and the wheels aren't even forged. Damn, your parents really dropped the ball on this one. :rofl2:

Forged or not,not that much difference in weight,if you are happy with the 18" rim design,just keep it...you won't feel the difference on power if you change to 19" Forged wheels with new Tyres.

Also being smaller actually saves a lot of weight and you have a larger selection of less expensive tires. Not to mention a little closer gearing with the smaller diameter.

Smaller diameter rim but with a thicker sidewall tire, overall diameter is the same, gearing still ends up the same.

275/35/19 (sport pkg rears) and 245/45/18 (base rears) both are 26.6" diameter.
