Having followed this question for many years, as far as I know, Chevy has never admitted their "forged" wheels are hybrid or rotary forged, which is not "fully" forged. The weight of the wheels would seem to clearly indicate they are not fully forged.
The Forgeline fully forged wheels I bought in the OEM Z06 sizes were 28# lighter for the 4 wheels than my standard OEM wheels.
