The Traklites are plain cast
The BBS wheels are low-pressure cast. They are MUCH better than any Chinese Konig and actually cost less than the Konigs you are considering
If you're willing to spend the money, they have the flow-formed OZ Leggera HLT for $317 each, weighing in at 18 lb each. For something a little less expensive, the 20-lb low-pressure cast OZ Omnia is $208 apiece. Both are made in Italy.
