Also found Racing Hart has two forged wheels with ideal offsets.

I'll ask the obvious question. Why does it matter?
There's plenty of forged wheels that are weaker than a similarly designed cast wheel. Forging allows lesser material for the same strength to meet safety standards. But that doesn't mean ALL forged wheels are strong. There are plenty of poorly engineered or wheels engineered at the limit that will crack/bend just as easily as their cast cousins.
In fact, I'd venture to say that some of the newer cast Rays Engineering wheels are probably stronger, and of similar weight of other forged wheels.
