Default Cheapest forged wheels?

So I'm starting a new project and weight will be an issue so I want to go with forged wheels. I've noticed that most forged wheel companies have very similar style wheels (HRE, CCW, Iforged, ect). I am looking for something around a 18x9 & 18x10.5 combination. I like the CCW 5 spoke and 10 spoke design. I know none of these wheels are cheap, but who's got the best price for a set of forged wheels?

A good set of 18" forged wheels will cost you at least $2500-2800 per set. Anything cheaper for 18s and they probably aren't very good quality. Keep in mind that if you go with 1/2 inch width increments, that means you have to go with more expensive 3-piece construction. The lower priced 2-piece welded construction only come in full inch increments for width (18x8, 18x9, 18x10 max)

How would a 1 piece such as a CCW 505a compare to a 2 piece?
