Yup. RPO PH7 for the forged wheel; RPO N90 was the cast wheel.

So PH7 was forged aluminum, and N90 was cast aluminum? How to tell the difference without knowing original RPO? I got mine out of the back forty of a tire shop....always thought they were the same.

Look at the back side of the wheel. Forgings have thick parting lines and castings have thin parting lines.
