I think a better way to correlate a cause/effect relationship between
wheels and softness is to determine whether or not the wheel is forged,
regardless of brand. Forged wheels will be much harder: less likely to
bend or get out of round, and cast will be softer and more likely. I
think the majority of BBS wheels are forged (the 91 200q20v stock BBS
rims) and my 3 piece BBS RF rims are examples. But so are other wheels,
like some Speedlines such as on the S4 before the Avus-styled cast
S6 rims came about.
So it's Cast vs. Forged. I don't see how the "brand" matters
unless a certain brand uses exclusively forged rims (HRE?).
