All bets are off when you have an off track excursion though.

Wheels like RPF1 are good for the price. But I just like the TE37 design better. Te37s are way too expensive. So I got Rota Grids for now.
Forging can make wheels stronger than casting does. So Forging wheels can be lighter than casting wheels at the same strength level.
However, it does not means than a 15lbs forging wheel is stronger than a 21lbs casting wheels.
Say, aluminum is stronger than wood. But it will be easier to bend 1mm aluminum than to bend 1m wood.
