1098 1098 Wheels - Were They All Forged?

  1. Morning,
    Picked up a lovely 1098 last week and just familiarising myself with it and have a little question - it’s a std bike (not s) but has a sticker on the wheels that says forged alloy - but ‘tinternet says that 1098s had forged and std just had light alloy - are they different ? Any way I can check other than rely on a sticker? thanks in advance for your time...

  2. The pattern gives it away.
    Those are not forged
