Are these wheels cast or forged?

The barrel is a single massive forging, pressed under tons of pressure in a single operation from a slug of 6061 aircraft aluminum. This forging comes from the press so close to its final dimensions that a minimum of machining is required. This leaves the lips and beads immensely strong, even though the thin aluminum is very lightweight.
