GZE pistons aren't forged, they are hypereutectic (that's the correct spelling), i had a GZE piston cut up for an in-depth look after i heard reports that they weren't forged.

They are also coated, not that it matters though, as this coating wears off after a few thousand k's

Quote below is in regards to 'forged vs. hypereutectic'

So yeah. Cool pistons uleh. They are also a damn competitive price and great for high-boost/turbocharging. Go for gold.
