looking at rims and im a little confused now...
What is the difference between ASA BBS and O.Z.?
I'm looking at the BBS CH's either the 19's or 18's i really like the BBS LM's but the 19's are out of my price range. I was also looking at the ASA AR1's either chromed or silver finish and the O.Z. Superlegger III either the 19's or 18's. So does it have to do where its made? I already know its how its made that makes the price difference but the O.Z.'s are a 3 or two piece rim i believe and so is the BBS LM's and there is a $220 price difference in the rims. Thanks in advance for anyone who takes on these ridiculous questions but im honestly a little confused in what's better.

I like a rim with a little lip especially if its polished.

thank you for clarifying that! Well now i looked and ASA AR1's are casted along with BBS CH's
BBS LM's and O.Z. Superlegger III's are forged
Now whats better out of the forged Japanesse(BBS) or Italian(O.Z.)?
When it comes down to that I say Ti amo Italia

K... here...
1st of all BBS=like buying Gucci or Armani name brand you will pay more but it's a good name and very high quality.
OZ=Polo of the field it's the okay brand that has been around but i wouldn't say it's better then bbs but close to it.. but i would buy BBS over OZ but that is just me.
ASA=Banna Republic or Abercrombie...it's acutally a good brand. I had it on my car before when i was in asia. It's an up coming company very good quality and was associated and affiliated with BBS rim company. It's made in korea and personally if i was you and i was choosing between BBS,OZ,or ASA if you don't have enough money for BBS i would go with ASA i personally think ASA will be come more pouplar if they market better in US or anywhere and have a chance of being equal or better then OZ rims but that is just my thought.
If it's 3 piece then i will get 3 piece rim over 2 piece..correct me if i am wrong but i was told 3 pieces are stronger then 2 piece.
I hope that helps...
