Does C7 have Forged or Cast Wheels?
Sept 2013 Car & Driver, page 54, says the Z51 has forged wheels. Jan 2015 Car & Driver, page 36, says Z06 has cast wheels. Is this correct for both cars?

I thought the Stingray doesn't have any forged wheels, that they are all cast. Someone may chime in with more than my speculation.

My understanding is that a set of cast wheels averages about $1500 compared to $3000 for forged wheels. Is that correct? That would factor into the base vs Z51 decision.
