Default 17" 2500 Alluminum wheels, Cast or Forged?

Are the 17" wheels that come on the 2500s Cast or Forged alluminum, or do they have both kinds? Seems like they come in 3 different finishes (machined, polished, or chrome skinned) but are they all the same basic rim, just finished differently?

The polished ones are the only forged.

Yes, the polished ones are forged and they do charge you extra on the sticker. IIRC, I think they are standard with the TRX4 Off-Road package though.

The one that comes on the Power Wagon is "special."
