Agreed. Forged wheels are very robust (my extra set of 20 Y/O S4 Avus forged wheels are still serving my son well on this GTI); although modern LP casting technology should create a pretty solid wheel. If you look at an aircraft engine, all of the critical rotating components are forged as the mechanical properties are superior...
Regarding SUV's, I am a wagon / hatchback guy myself. Really do not understand the attraction, but my wife loves her X5, which I drive as little as possible.
