AG also offers the M610 and Ruger Mesh which are rotary forged/flow formed if you wanted lighter & stronger

AG also offers custom built forged monoblocks

-Gravity Cast is the heaviest/softest way to make a wheel, they're going to be what most China replica sub-$1000/set wheels are produced in

-Low pressure cast is OEM quality, and what most OEM wheels are made with
$1-2,500/set on average

-Rotary Forged/Flow Formed is a step up where the barrels are heated and rolled out during production causing a uniform "grain" in the metal, and producing a wheel that has a thinner/lighter/stronger barrel and about 20-25% lighter and stronger than standard cast.
Great bang for the buck and ideal daily driving and the track
$1.5-3,000/set on average

-True forged wheels are the lightest/strongest, almost all custom built to order, where the wheel design is cut out of a forged block of solid aluminum.
$4-10,000/set+

Hope that helps, let me know if anyone has any additional questions

This has been a very informative thread! Has totally helped my decisions for dimensions of wheels and tires I plan to run for custom wheels on my 911. Great looking wheels! I'm going for a retro-80s turbofan look, so Rotiform has a style I think will match closest. But I will keep your wheels in mind as I'm always switching wheels. Thanks to you and Aaron - cheers!
