Default Cast vs Forged Question

I am interested in purchasing a set of ZR1s. I currently have stock SS wheels, but I would like to get some 315s on the back and I like the look of the ZR1s. I saw that OE Wheels had a set for around $500. That is a great deal for the set of 4 including the 2 17x11s.

I have heard bad stories about cast wheels. Can anyone chime in on OE Wheels? I see they are a sponsor here and would like some buyer opinions from you guys before I go anywhere with this.

Thanks.

Nothing wrong with cast wheels, just heavy.

Is the weight difference extreme? Or is it only a pound or two?
