AMG would probably be stronger. Where, btw, are you geting AMG rims for just $184.50?

vraa

BBS's are god.
Get them.

Saprissa

aren't most AMG rims made by BBS anyway ?

vraa

I like these alot:

AMG 5-spoke 171 (Silver painted) $369 each

I'd like to get these in 18 or 19's for my car. If you have these hook ups, can you share.

Get the Diamond Black if you don't want to clean your rims. I always liked the AMG Double Spoke 203 (Silver painted).

well, in NYC you can dent any rim, so it wont help.
I like BBS. (not chrome)

they wouldn't matter that much between AMG and BBS since they are all cast wheels. Only certain BBS models are forged wheels. I forgot which model tho. The only one Im sure is forged is the BBS LM.

just checked BBS forged wheels are the LM, RGR, and RS-GT

Oh man... I'm leaning toward the BBS Diamond Black ones...and yeah...im getting these 50% off...I'm here in HONG KONG right now...to attend my grandma's funeral.... on one block...theres...atleast 8 out of 10 cars are Mercedes-Benz...and Mostly E-Classes and C-Classes...here, I seen many, 230k, 200, and not much C320...altho I seen a C55amg here today....

The most popular Rim here "I asked the rim dealer" are Brabus Monoblock IVs havnt seen any LM5s, nothing....BBS...altho alot...I asked the dealer, and he perfered BBS over AMG, and I showed him the RIMS that I wanted, he said those AMGs are BBS made...=T

I hate NYC...so much potholes...errf!!! I gota take some pics! and show you guys these CRAZY fers, lambos, and maser

IN my building...theres over 15 ferarris...1 maserati, no lambos, 1 porsche, 6 or 7 E-classes, no c classes, few S classes, few 300Es, alot of GTis, and some jap cars...I love HONG KONG...theres NOTHING BUT SUPER CARS!!!!


But guys..the problem is....those ASA are BBS engineered...but it got gayed...which sucks a$$, so I'm not sure if I should buy something "that" styled...and 2 piece forged rims, the lip is alot thicker...I duno =T

YeeHaw

are you on speed?

alphaforcex

I know what you meant. I'm from HK too. But where in HK do you get the BBS or AMG for 50% off?? How are you bringing back to the states? Ship??

BBS doesn't make ANY wheels for AMG. . . . .. most all AMG wheels are made by ronal

NY C32

Thank you! I've been trying to remember the name and I knew it started with the letter 'r'. Ronal is stamped on the inside of my AMG stock wheels

I had both a they both dented like anything else. Any wheel will dent/bend if you hit a pot hole hard enough..... It will just cost you more to replace AMG OR BBS.

CRB

The RGR wheel is a forged one-piece wheel and would be the most durable, however, as noted, any wheel will bend if you find a pothole big enough.

Where in HK are you? well I'm getting it from tirerack, and my cars from the states... I'm in Happy Valley, on Village Road, Theres a tire shop around here, I'm gonna head down and check it out...

Ima heading back to the states tomorow anyways... I see more E-Classes hera and S-Classes here than TAXIS~!!!
