ZL1 wheels are CAST now?

Noticed when I was cleaning my wheel barrels.

Said "Duracast" made in china.

Not forged like our 5th gens?

They're forged.

That might be a supplier name or something along those lines.

Forged, Duracast is the name of the company that makes the wheels.

Gives me the red ass that my American muscle car's wheels are wuhan chicom specials.

I'm glad GM didn't get a nickel from me and never will...
