LOL, exactly!!!! I went with forged for my wheels because I did want the weight savings. But if I was looking for winter wheels, or if I regularly change wheels, then cast would be fine. Strength between forged vs cast is negligible (depending on brand, there are REALLY strong and light forged wheels, but they will cost $3k + per wheel). Hit a pothole hard enough and you can crack any wheel.
In general, VMR has a really good reputation on the forums, and they are very reasonably priced.
