The advantages of forged wheels are numerous, resulting in higher prices across the board. The forging process prevents shrinkage and pores from forming in the metal, giving the wheels a tighter grain, which leads to a mechanically stronger wheel. What this means for the customer paying thousands for these rims is that they will wear less over time and perform better while they do.
