They do look different. However, I never got why people got rid of their BBS' for inferior rims. I don't think those are forged, they probably weigh more and they aren't as wide, so why did you get them? I suppose it is b/c the BBS' are factory rims and people like to be different. Sorry for my rant but it is just one of those things that irks me. If you like them though, that is all that matters.

Did you keep your BBS rims?

Wheels are way too small. Nothing but at least a 9" wheel and 255 will do. Otherwise, it would be just a waste of money.

You would probably loose lap time with those wheel then the stock ones.
