I'm not experienced with racing wheels...

However, I'd go for a forged mono-block for durability and weight reduction.

HRE and BBS are the go-to wheel companies as they create the most lightweight and most durable wheels on the market.

Have you had a chance to to view the options from either brand?

Agreed. 1-piece Monoblok wheels are going to give you the lightest possible options. We've developed a race version of our classic P101 design that we call the R101. We use the R101 in many racing applications including a few from Pikes Peak most recently, also in road racing.

Here's the HRE R101 I'd recommend you look into:
