Forged =/= Lighter.
Forged = denser metal, with better crystalline structure, which is stronger. This allows a forged wheel to potentially be lighter. Also, it gives the forged wheel a superior mode of failure.
Buy based on strength and rigidity, not weight. I bet those forged, heavier wheels are harder to bend than the lighter, cast wheels.
I use a lot of 57CR for a nice balance of cost and strength. Weight is the least of my concerns for the most part.
