Same price for either wheel, problem is the car is here and the ordered Centerlines will be another month. I'd rather not wait, cause I want to sell the R85's/Runflats with minimal milage. I can get the RKs immediately. What would you do?

Are BBS cast or forged?

RK's are counter pressure cast. I Love that style, if I wan't going with RGR's, that would be my BBS pic. I have them instock, call me to order.

I am faced with a similair dilemma... I can't decide between the BBS RK and the Centerline Excel. The Excel is a better quality rim (it's forged, and also about 2kg lighter) but I have to wait until MARCH 2004 to get some into Aus, and I can get the BBS RK's now...

I'd prefer the Centerline but it's a LONG wait... what did you end up doing KerMini?
