Wheel aesthetics are completely personal and subjective, so I'm giving you my humble and personal opinion...
The wheel you posted does NOTHING for me at all. Nevermind whether they're forged aluminum or not, I'm strictly coming from a style perspective.
The spinning turbo wheel look is just so "out" right now. The Porsche 993 Twin Turbos probably started this trend back in '95/'96. Mitsubishi Eclipse GSTs and GSXes came stock with spinning, swirly 5-spokes (I had '95 GSX, and hated the wheels) in '95.
I humbly recommend getting a classic design that won't look dated--this means a either a classic 5-"straight"-spoke or "straight" racing mesh style. Even the 6-spoke a la Volk and SSR Comp is looking a bit overdone these days. This leaves me longing for mesh style a la BBS RX or Fikse FM-10. Volk SE7K and LE37Ks would be my personal choice at the moment
Of course you might feel completely different about your wheel choice, but your post was soliciting opinions--you know what they say about opinions...everyone has one...

I'm not sure if those are forged, doubt it. To let you know we've been asked to carry MOMO wheels for a very long time, but due to their weight and our inherent involvement with RWD import vehicles we can't sell any.
they are heavy and cost way too much for that. Follow what SleepR1 has said or take a look at these much lighter and more race proven alternatives:

SleepR1/// No doubt, the enivatable was to follow - opinions. I have seen these featured In magazines and have yet to see this In person. However my opinion will perhaps vary though. I do however appreciate your opinion.
I don't like the sound of them sounding HEAVY.
