    I just checked my Audi brochure and the window sticker from my car. No mention of forged or not. Sorry.

    Yes, at least based on http://www.fuchsfelge.de/index.php?id=795&L=1

    You'd probably get more visibility in the MQB subforum for future reference.

    Anyway see this thread for more info about the stockers: http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...e-Wheel-Weight

    If your research reveals if the Black Optic wheels (V Spokes) are forged, please post here too.

    Haven't been able to find anything online yet.

    19 inch "tuning fork" style wheels are definitely forged made by otto fuchs and about 21 pounds each, the 19 inch V spoke black optics wheels are not forged and weigh about 27 pounds.
