Many Forged Monoblock wheels from brands like Strasse Forged and HRE will weigh less than the work or volk wheels in 2 piece configuration. However, what most people will not tell you is that they are not lighter than a properly configured 3 piece wheel with a performance weight reduction and the correctly chosen design. Monoblock forged wheels like the HRE you posted above is cut from a single piece of forged billet.
Step lipped wheels are traditionally the lightest option in a 3 piece configuration versus a flat lip. Also a 5 spoke design is typically the lightest design as well...
If your going for straight weight reduction I would start there. I hope this is helpful.
