Many people here run SVE wheels and seem pleased with them. They are a good value for their size, weight, and method of construction (rotary forged). If you like this style, they should serve you well. I’m personally holding out for an R357 sale.

They are flow formed.

Rotary forged and flow formed are the same thing, just two different terms for the same construction process.

Rotary forged is a made up marketing name by one wheel company.
It's misleading since there is nothing forged about cast flow formed wheels.
The correct term is flow formed, why not call them that.

Flow formed wheels have very comparable strength and stiffness barrels to forged wheels, and they are lighter than cast wheels as a result.

I'm familiar with the different types of aluminum wheel and their differences.

Fair point, flow formed is the more accurate description of the manufacturing technique. Most folks here use these terms relatively interchangeably, but I shouldn’t assume that.
In either case for OPs purposes, these specific SVE wheels are better than stock Cast wheels and far more affordable than true Forged wheels. I think that answers their question.
Note to OP: some wheels SVE offers are not flow formed, but rather Cast and thus heavy like OEM wheels. Be sure to read the details fully.
