Default Well...

All normally available BBS wheels in the US are cast with the LM as the only exception.

In Japan, there is a version of the BBS RC that is forged. You may be able to find a shop that imports them (I found a place online that had them)... but expect to pay quite a bit more (an additional 50% to 100%).

Agree, additional 70% for the forged RC polish is about standard...

Not entirely correct.

The only forged wheels BBS produces are the LM and a version of the RC that is produced in Japan (we refer to it as the RC-J).

Others are cast using a special rim-rolling casting technique that gives BBS the light wieight and strength they are known for.

Call me with any questions on them!
