Wheels help me choose
I'm looking at Cargraphic 3 piece wheels or BBS 2 piece LM wheels. Are the cargraphic ones forged? I know the BBS ones are
Which one is ligher? Which one has a nice deep lip in the rear? I'm stuck between the two.
I'm getting tired of the look of my Gemballa wheels.
Below is a pic of the Cargraphic wheels (I think)
TIA

I'd definitely go for the cargraphic rims. From waht I've seen the LM wheels by BBS are nowhere near as impressive. Also I think you would have a deeper lip with the cargraphic rims. The ones in your picture look more like Kinesis.

Those wheels are Carcraphic, or they look like them. Some other wheels look the same i.e. Champion wheels.
I think if you have the same offset, the lip isn't much different.
They're both really nice looking wheels!

You can't go wrong with either wheels (Cargraphic or BBS LM). Cargraphic wheels are more expensive though. As far as the deep lips concern, it all depends on the offset of the wheel.
Are you back in Diamond Bar?

Pick the wheels you like best. What else? I'm just taking a stab, but I would venture a guess that the BBS LM wheels, being a 2-piece wheel, are probably a bit lighter. I would also say that you can probably get whatever offset you'd want with either of the wheels for that "deep dish" look you're wanting.
