Red face Are billet wheels worth the money over forged?

Heard that Billet wheels were better than forged are they worth the money unless your competing on the track and you have a sponsor paying for them. Looking for new set of rims for a daily driver that is low maintenance to take care of, any thoughts?
Cheers

Forged wheels are billet. "Billet" just means that the wheels have been cut from a single block of aluminum.

Most (if not all) billet wheels have forged centers.

So basically, they are the same thing. Maybe you are referring to single vs multi piece wheels?
