Not true, unless the BBS you're talking about uses conventional casting, otherwise their Form Flowing cast wheels are lighter then other cast wheels on the market. Also, FYI, HRE/DPE/iForged/Jlines are somewhat overated too, they are all forged and of course it'll be lighter then cast (however due to 2 to 3 pcs design, their wheels are not superlight by forge standard)also, broswing through other forums I have come across people complaining about the QA on their products and some of the wheels have imperfection out of the box. If you go with Volk or BBS the QA process is much tighter. Also, from what I've heard, DPE/HRE/iforged/Jlines uses similar forging mills overseas and only the final assembly is in US..
