Question about 5 slot mag wheels

[Belteshazzar]

My '79 has some pretty cool Ansen Sprint-lookin' wheels that appear to be oem (they say "Jeep" on the center caps).

Are these things forged or somethin'? They're 30 years old and there's no corrosion or dings anywhere.

Factory parts usually stand the test of time better than aftermarket. Also, alot of the Wags led pampered garage kept lives due to their status as an upscale vehicle. Most never left the pavement.

I dunno. There's massive holes in my floorboards. The chrome's peeling off the my grille, bumpers, and center caps. But the rims are perfect.:huh:

I think that Wag was at PA Jeep show last summer.
He said he spend 2 weeks buffing the wheels.

Interior is spotless clean.

I talked to the guy, trying to get perfect AM/FM radio.

this rig was parked for the last two years in Nebraska.

The dealership sales brochure says "Forged aluminum styled wheels". Don't know if that means they're styled after forged wheels or they actually are forged?
