Which wheel?

[Jakester]

The BBS wheel is obviously the better choice. It is a well put together wheel from a known company in the motorsport community. Compare that to something from Taiwan.
If you are asking "Des the Taiwan wheel look close enough to the BBS to go ahead and buy that and save a bunch of money?" That's a different question.
I have a feeling you are more putting a feeler out there as to whether or not it's okay to buy the cheap wheel instead of the expensive one because they look close enough alike.
That, my dude, is completely up to you and your checking account.

Thanks man. I honestly don't know what the price of either of them is or which one is cheaper when its all said and done. Price doesn't matter especially when it comes to something that has an impact on safety. But I usually end up buying the more expensive items since they usually look and perform better anyways. One thing I need to call and find out tomorrow is if the bbs will fit on my rear with my BBK. I have read about people running into issues with bigger brakes on the rear not clearing the rim. Hopefully they will fit.

Either wheel will get you down the street. If price is of no concern, then getting the better of the two is a no brainer.
For track days, I will run something cheap like a Rota oe Enkei. But, for something I'm going to daily on, that people will see, I want something at least as nice as OEM. Chinese junk does not apply.
Let your conscience guide you.

BBS LM is great if money is no issue. Looks good and is made well.
I would look at Work VS-XX next if that style wheel is what you are going for.
BC looks nice and has lots of options but I'm unsure about quality and people will assume they are "reps" (if that matters to you).
I wanted some BBS FI-R but they didn't have Supra fitment at the time, and got some Apex VS-5RS because they looked the same, forged, super light and had a replacement program. Yes they are Chinese and from a relatively unknown brand but the quality has been great and held up to everything I've asked of a wheel at a much lower cost than BBS's. That being said when I get some hotboy 3pc wheels tho, it'll be Work or BBS for me

Yeah, I currently have some wheels on that look really close with a similar spoke pattern and bbk kits on front and back. Cleaning them does suck but I am a glutton for punishment i guess.

Crazy thing it dnt really be the cleaning portion though. It be like damn I still got the other side of the car, then damn one more wheel

So I took my LM’s off the Supra MT after one drive, the weight difference was very apparent and they were way too heavy for me, but quality was great. BC I’ve always had issues with in the past with build quality

Were they the 20" or 19"? I thought those wheels were supposed to be light compared to others out there. What wheel do you think you are going to go with?

Which one of theirs are you going with? A monoblock or 2 piece?

They were 20’s and no way heavier then my Oem 23 wheels, granted it’s a 20” and 2 piece wheel. The Oem 23 wheels are awesome tho, look and feel amazing and are lighter then the 20-22 2 tone.

Thanks for the info. I just got off the phone with HRE. I think I am going to go this route. They have endless options and seem like extremely high quality as well. Do you know which wheel you are going with or are you keeping the Oem ones?

I'm on my 2nd set of bcforged wheels, great quality, price, weight.

BBS are amazing buy 6-7k plus tires ehhh not sure

Forged BBS > all.
They are incredibly tough, have beautiful finishes, and are just a very durable wheel.

Litespeed Racing makes the lightest wheels out of anyone out there and they are incredibly well made.

I’m actually running a set of te37 track editions, love them. HRE is an amazing option. Just go with there fully forged line not the flow form

OEM wheels are forged, yes? So should be relatively lightweight.
Also, I love when people ask opinions on specific parts, but then instead get recommendations for everything else.
We can't help but to interject our own opinions. Car guys. Lol
