BC Forged: 2 Piece Corged - Concave - Starts at 3,500 for a 19" set !

Hey guys,

We are constantly on the hunt for innovative products that will satisfy specific needs for our customers. After months of research we have finally found a forged - 2 piece - concave with contoured spoke designs that go up to the edge of the wheel. Their lead time is also super quick at 2 - 3 weeks !

Sounds expensive? Think again! A set of 19" in the ST series (lightweight concave) starts at 3,500 in standard finishes!

Rare design with 2 piece rim, concave with no lip. These are not your everyday run of the mill rims. Hard to find a better quality rim. Not necessarily my taste but impressive use of quality materials, engineering programs, and quality certifications. Only disadvantage to a 2 piece design is when you damage a lip you have to replace the entire barrel. 3 piece you just replace whichever side is damaged. Be nice to see a TUV certification as well though but understand the difficulty in obtaining it. Nice rim anyway!!!

yeah, the quality is very very nice. i spent quite some time doing my homework before placing my order. wait time is usually 2 weeks (made in taiwan), i ordered mine in shanghai and it took 4.5 weeks. was quite frustrated with my dealer in china (customer service for them is... what?) but this is not uncommon in china and at least i got the rims after all. not BC's fault, just the store i ordered from gave me crappy attitude.

so far my rims are running well, attract a lot of attention on the road. yes, it is in brushed finish. i don't do OEM rims anymore, coz i've seen too many photos of car accidents caused by low quality OEM rims. when it comes to rims, need to go for name brand ones. BC is not a big brand, but it seems that their rims are certified by at least 2 international organizations. this is the first time i'm using their rims. so far so good.

however, one of the main reasons i chose BC is the price/quality ratio IN CHINA.

american or european branded rims are very expensive in china due to tariffs, costing twice or sometimes 3 times as much comparing to the prices in the states. BC has pretty much the same price everywhere in the world, which makes a good buy to me. but it might not be a good buy for you guys, since you can buy name brand rims at a much cheaper price than me.

overall, good quality rims. just think you should do your maths before deciding.
