Iain,
interesting .. the ones in your picture are forged but have the cores on alternate sides! .. I did some more internet searching ,and it looks like for the front wheel they changed from early OZ which was cored only on one side, to the later forged wheels made by another company which is alternate... I stand corrected

yes the best way to tell is the embossed marking on the rim, only forged wheels have them. and if there is markings in the cored out section, the forged markings are generally embossed into the surface, and the cast marking are sitting proud of the surface.

il have to have a wee look.. these wheels must be fitted to other models as there is mounting points for a second disc on mine?

also after giving it a wee check and service it already has a K&N panel filter fitted so it really is done :clap:
