Yeah, sure, and if you combine one part of that with about 19 parts of titanium it's stronger still but you're talking about two completely different things. The point was not whether forged wheels have higher strength to weight, but whether a wheel made with more aluminum would be stronger than one made with less, all things being equal. That point holds no matter what process you're talking about. Geez.
