I know the 99 Cobra wheel is a 17x8" forged wheel with 5.72" backspacing...The ones, like the ones on my car just have a silver metallic paint...

I'm pretty sure it's a combination of recycled soda cans and wheel weights.
Seriously though, they are just cast aluminum alloy. What else are you looking for? The metallurgical properties of the alloy?

I agree with Sean90GT. I beleive they are pressure cast aluminium? Not forged but a good cast. I don't know if copies are of the same quality

You believe wrong.....For some reason in the '03 FMS perfomance catalog (unless its a type-o) lists the '99 Cobra wheel as a "forged wheel"....All the other 17x8" FMS wheels are cast though....
