I believe they are the same just different branding as no exclusivity with distribution deals. I haven't seen any problems with quality and they are forged using high quality materials ?

These are full forged wheels done in two different facilities over seas in Taiwan.

I have worked mainly with BC Forged and have not yet had one issue with my customers.

The set ups i have done have been on mainly M6, Corvette C7 Z06 and GTR's for track use and so far its been perfect.

They do offer lifetime structural warranty ..

I guess the 'cheap' refers to less than BBS/HRE forged. Given they have invested a lot in Taiwan they are probably looking to build market share and brand with a lower cost base. I'm happy having ordered BC, would have been happy too if I had ordered Signature !

I would also have been very happy with BBS/HRE/ADV.1 etc but £6k a set or more in the UK is just too punchy

Actually BC Forged is really bang for buck I have a set of HRE's and ADV1's from what I heard the BC forged or built very well quality level is almost on par with HRE, this is what I was informed by my mod shop I cant say for sure since I have yet to test a set of BC Forged wheels but I take his word for it.
