Are 20inch wheels stronger than 21s?

Hi looking for a bit of advice if any of you can help please as i'm at the end of my tether with Audi and cracked alloys.
I've just had another one crack on me giving the dreaded low tyre pressure sign on the dash. That's 3 wheels in 6 months as well as a buckled one in between that I got straightened.
Audi cant tell me how many individual 20inch ones they have sold compared to 21s to see whether the 20's suffer from the same problem. They wont sort it under warranty either as they just use the phrase there must have been an external influence for the alloy to crack as there are no known faults with them. Looking at the deformed wheel register it seems a few of you have had the same bad experience.
Some posts seem to indicate that the 20s are forged and stronger. What do you all think? If this is the case then i'll revert to 20s because I cant afford to keep buying alloys at £1400 a time.
The car is amazing on every level but I just dont want that worry of cracking a wheel everytime I go out in it.
Cheers
Steve
