Sounds like they are stretching the meaning of forged. The word 
"billet" just means a big block of metal. This would imply that the 
metal was "forged" into a billet and then the crank was hogged out of 
this billet. If this is what was done, there would be no advantage to 
it. Still, the price is reasonable, but a OE forged crank with welded 
counterweights might well be better.
