Default 2003 Stock Rims?

Are the 2003 Stock rims aluminum? Does anyone know, it states they are alloy, but does that mean aluminum?

How could an alloy be the same thing as aluminum. An alloy is a mixture of two or more metals.
BTW why do you have this topic posted 5 times?

Yes they are Aluminum. Most likely cast and not forged though.

Alloy just means that other material was added to the pure metal in order to enhance it's properties. So if it's 99% Al and 1% Zinc, Copper, Magnesium, etc.. Then it's an Alloy.

Wow nearly an 800K signature. What a waste. I bet modem users love you.. I am amazed pics this size are allowed in posts..

How much weight advantage do these wheels have over a steel alloy? I'd hate to hit a curb with them..
