The BBS wheels are cast, where as the F Sport are forged. That makes a huge difference in the strength of the wheel. You'd be less likely to damage the F Sport rims if you hit a pothole or something. Also, since the forged alloy is much stronger, the wheels can be made with less material.

You should really ask yourself "why" you're changing from stock wheels to aftermarket ones. What good is it to get different looking rims if they make your car have more unsprung mass, and reduce performance?

I don't understand why people on these forums tend to be all for adding parts or modifying cars in ways that just make them worse instead of better. Especially when it comes to rims. People will put huge, cheap rims on a nice car and just ruin handling. Might as well have gotten a POS car instead and put huge heavy rims on it so it'll "look nice", instead of getting a nice car to begin with!

My advice is to get the F Sport rims between those two choices. The rims aren't nearly as important as the tires you choose though. You'll see a big difference in performance with better tires, and a potential decrease in performance by going to bigger heavier wheels.

Spending $1100 dollars on great tires makes more sense to me than spending a few thousand on wheels and then slapping mediocre tires on them.
