V8 Wheels -- gold package, bent up, heavy

[TM]

Um, no offense, but the forged magnesium BBS wheels used in racing
have absolutely no correlation to the similar-looking cast BBS wheels
that comprise the majority of the BBS wheels sold for road cars.

BBS wheels tend to be a bit soft. They don't usually crack, though,
which, IMHO, is much worse.

Maybe I'm nit-picking, but your statement sounds a bit contradictory.
How can they be top-notch wheels if they use inferior casting and forging
methods? That can only hurt one's reputation, not enhance it.

BBS are top notch wheels.  They have many grades of wheels as well.  They
use
them in racing because of strength and light weight, but some bottom of the
rung
BBS are a bit weak, because of the manufacturing process.  They tend to have
a
lot of air bubbles as typical with inferior casting and forging methods.
