VS forged?

Hi everyone

I'm doing my research to change to 20" wheels;
I'm looking for light wheels, associating form and function in a way.

The OEM offer is limited and expensive with only the 669M;

I've come across some forged wheel options that are in a similar price range, the VS Forged line up http://www.vsforged.com, more specifically the VS10 design is appealing to me for a 5 series ; we're talking about ~$3000/set while BBS or HRE forged would be more like $6-8000 / set.


There is precious few reviews on these wheels, none of them negative, but many comments doubting that these wheels are throughly tested (and indeed these are not TUV or ABE tested)

I've come across a couple of BMWs with these wheels though:

a number of corvettes as well...

My other options would be BBS CI-R wheels but I don't think they offer sets with the appropriate center bore or the offsets I want, so that involves adapters and I don't want that (nor do french road regulations allow for this).

Well anyway my question is, while people are casting doubt over the quality, I'm not sure these are substantiated, and that it would be any different to a cast wheel, even from a reputable brand like BBS...

What do you think?
