Debating... Enkai Raijin or BBS RE forged
$225 each vs. 825 each...
Is it really worth it to upgrade to the forged BBS?

If you have the money, go for the BBS.

I think the BBS does look better, but $800+ per wheel is a lot if you ask me. I'd go with the Enkei purely based on cost if it was me. They still look good on an FRS:

I'm loving my Raijins.
At $800 a wheel I'd be devastated if I curbed them or dented them. |

If money isn't an issue go with BBS if it is then Enkei. Pretty simple I think...

$800 a wheel... yikes... Better put some protective shield around it.
Even if I had money to blow, I wouldn't spend $3300 for BBS. It's personal preference as many will say. If you don't care, why not... BBS is nice wheel. In my opinion, Enkei Raijin is decent for the price. Why not spend around ~400 per wheel and you could get something better than Enkei, but less OCD to take care of those BBS? |
