Absolutely correct. There are many, many high-quality cast wheels available. There is a reason that manufacturing process is so popular.
I'll be getting a set of cast wheels in a year. Check out the OZ Alleggeritas.

OZ makes good stuff. They're super light, quality cast wheels. My friend had the Superleggeras and they're really light and most people are surprised they're cast.

They're nice but around here every "SS bullet muffler, giant deck spoiler, fast and furious-mobile has them on".

To the other post of quality, I'm sure the HRE's are made well. I like these too, never heard of them though.
