I bought a set of second hand set of lighter weight wheels that lasted all of 3 weeks before the inner rim bent to crap on a pothole that was so small I didn't even see it. I mean it bent like it was a piece of crap steel wheel. That put me off forever on anything that is not forged, because I had such a great experience with the Volks on my Yaris. And frankly some of these non forged wheels are so expensive I'd be furious if I bought them and that happened. I don't want to have to drive my car like a grandmother because I'm afraid a tiny leaf could bend my wheels.
There are some wheels that are very strong without being forged. They just may not be ultra light. I daily a tarmac rally wheel that's flow formed, strong as heck, and relatively reasonably priced. It's not as light as some others, but the roads I drive on are not very good.
