I have a set of 5 spoke Marchesinis on my 998. Im not sure if they are forged or cast. Maybe you can tell? Thanks. Asking $1100. If anyone is interested I will arrange to have the wheels inspected if you prefer. PM me if interested. Thanks

Cast

I was going to guess cast as well on the basis the metal on the inside of the spokes look very similar to the appearance of some magnesium castings I've seen. I could be all wrong, but what the hell, I've got a 50-50 chance of being right.

All 5 spoke Mag wheels from Marchesini were cast, even the ones in WSBK from that era. After that, they started doing forged in 7 and 10 spoke.
