Default Wheel Question

What type of aluminum wheels are on the C8 as shipped from the factory, e.g. cast, forged, billet? My 2020 Z51 went to the dealer at 5000 miles for the first oil change. After the tech discovered some very small imperfections on a few spokes of the trident wheels, both left side wheels were replaced by Chevrolet. Other than that, this Vette (my 10th) has been a dream car! My first Vette was a 62 Fuelie and I have had at least one of each generation since.
