V8 Wheels -- gold package, bent up, heavy

[Horace K. Sawyer]

BBS junk?  Good grief, I've heard it all now!   I thought BBS was THE 
best.  But, its just my perception.  In truth, I really haven't studied 
wheels, the manufacturers, compositions, failure rates, strength, weights, 
etc. to know for myself.  I recall lately one poor soul lambasting Mille 
Miglia, saying he bent one running over a slight pot hole a week after he 
got them.  (See Tire Rack forum archives)
I have always thought Borbet was good.  Someone else was griping about 
*heavy* they are.
But what do I know about wheels?  I just know what I like in terms of looks.
Of course, chrome with a gold package in any brand would be my pick      : )

Anyone making any solid gold wheels?  Would look awesome on an A8.  : )
