I wouldnt be surprized that they are steel. they are damn heavy. My previous rims Forged SSR competitions 16# 18x9.5 rims with tires almost weighed as much as the c5 dd 18x10.5 rims alone.

Definitely not steel, 100% guaranteed. My chrome C5 dd 17x9.5 weigh about 23 lbs and the 18x10.5 is about 27-28 lbs. I find it hard to believe many guys would be running an 18x9.5 rear wheel with mounted tire which weighed in the 28 lb range, haha.

SSRs are forged light weight racing rims. Also I did say "almost".

As far as I know, all wheels are aluminum, unless they are magnesium. Cheaper wheels are cast in a mold, and premium wheels are milled from a solid chunk hence the price tag.
