Now, if you wrap them in some seriously sticky rubber, like slicks and go blast around the track full bore, who knows, they may not hold up. Street tires likely would be fine though.
The real downside is they're going to be heavy compared to like TSWs.

The main idea behind using the forged wheels is that a cast wheel of same strength will have to weigh a lot more relative to the forged one. Hence, the forged wheels would tax the suspension less (less unsprung weight) and let your car perform better.
Not specifically talking about these wheels, I don't know anything about them, but the reverse is also true. If a cast wheel of same size is similar in weight to a forged wheel of same size, then there is no way it can be as strong as that forged wheel.
One way or another, using the forged wheels for the track makes most sense.
