My understanding is that WBX flywheels are forged steel not cast, but since that's hearsay from long ago on the shoptalkforums site .. don't quote me on that or hold me to it.

Wally corrected us on that. The OG ones are all cast based on the way the markings on the back look.

You can get a forged, chromemoly 228mm flywheel ....from AA or QSC.
If you wanted such a beast I would only buy it from EMW or FAT after they QC it, or if I lived around the corner from AA or QSC.

On a 914 I would only install a 228, after running one for well over 150K miles with almost zero wear.
Only pulled it off to replace with a flexplate...
