truly you get what you pay for... if you think that the HRE's or Fikse's are expensive...
consider that the iForged Aeros are "soft". I have 225/45 18's on the front and in one year, both front wheels have noticeable run-out. I can't recall when/where ever hitting some gargantuan pothole that swallowed a wheel, but yet the front wheels have suffered 2 substantial dings that you can see once they're off the car (inner rim circumference). 15k miles with inexpensive wheel jewelry as a daily driver... that's what I bought!
On the other hand, I have a Vette with Fikse FM'5s and these wheels are bullet proof. 50k miles of abusive driving, and they are still completely "true".
Check out the load rating of the tires that you pick. My rear PZero Nero's have the "extra load rating". The fronts-- do not. I've wondered how the non-load rated tires side wall stiffness is effected and the ability to shun minor road bumps...
