A forged wheel can be as strong as a cast wheel while using less material which of course makes it lighter which is the benefit.
There is no reason why a heavier cast wheel cannot be as strong as a lighter forged wheel.

You can't generalize wheels by manufacturing process or price. A forged wheel can be as weak as a cast wheel if not properly engineered, the same goes for a cast wheel, it can be as strong as a forged wheel if properly engineered.
Our wheels for example are rated at 1600lbs per corner. They are
as strong as any forged wheel out there, the downsize is that they require more weight to achieve that strength. The plus size, you can get four or five
sets of wheels for the price of one set of forged wheels.
To the OP, try to get a set of low-pressure cast wheels which is much more stronger than Gravity cast.
