I have them. They are forged and about 5lb less per corner than other oem wheels.
Remember, OEM wheels have to be able to withstand a 45mph curb strike like a land rover defender does....with all the potholes they are a god send when others I know who have lighter wheels have had them get bent.....
They are remarkably easy to clean I may add...like 20 seconds per wheel max......not a small thing after BBS's on prior cars...

The pieces don't add much obviously to the weight and at car meets people normally really say nice things, even porsche centerlock owners....they are a nice, classy wheel (that are easy to clean). People get that who have awful wheels to clean....I cannot say that enough. I'd be fine if they were just forged aluminum too of course. My goal was to get OEM forged wheels for the curb strike rating...it has paid off many times given roads these days. The other forged wheels are also with carbon bits I think in once case (the SVR carbon brake wheels may not have carbon bits but they are forged too I think).
Most JLR F type wheels were not forged.
