I did all the research back several years ago when I was looking for wheels for my vette and I was down to HRE and Iforged wheels. Both dealers buy the parts from the same company and finish them at their on place. The Iforged were about 30% cheaper at the time in a group buy so I went with them. Both come with the same warranty. The ones I bought were a true 3 piece alloy aluminum wheel in a high polish finish. If I had it to do over again I would get the chrome lips instead of the polished aluminum because it is so hard to get tires mounted without scratching the lips. Also, if you get a very wide rim and tire be sure to have it road force balanced.

one other note to add, I see several threads here talking about the TPS on aftermarket wheels. I had this same issue to deal with on my Iforged on the vette. What most guys do on the late model vettes is buy new TPS and cut the valve stem off, then epoxy the sensor to the deepest part of the wheel (so the tire bead will slide over). It will NOT come off. Mine have been on for years now with no problems.

Yep, I know of guys that have used the band clamp but I have also heard of some coming loose.
