OE 611M, 612 Cast or Forged?

[Sinnedz]

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone know and have direct links to facts about these wheels?

I cant seem to find information anywhere and my dealer is saying that their system doesn't state whether its CAST or Forged.

Is there any way to check the actual wheel to find out?

Thanks!

99.9% they are not forged. There are very few OEM BMW wheels that are forged.The x5m wheels weigh a ton and are almost def not forged.

I would assume so as well but it would be nice to have some concrete facts on them somewhere.

The X5M factory 20" and 21" wheels are forged per the BMW spec release.
