I got it from all the major forged wheel manufacturer's input I have seen in a thread relating to this issue on L4P i.e. Forged Specialty, HRE, ADV1, and D2Forged, all said that sustained heat can alter the composition of the metal which can weaken it. Logically, people asked why heavy breaking did not have same effects and they said that heating and cooling cycles that braking exposes wheels to does not have the same effect as sustained heat over 30-60+ minutes of baking time.
I'm not an expert in metallurgy though, it did sound credible and all the companies had the same consensus.
