jim1969 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Which rim would be more pothole proof? The prodrive P1 17" or 04 Sti BBS in 17"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolksey85 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Well, I know for a fact the BBS's are forged. Not so sure about the P1's. For $200-250 which is about where they retail, they may be MAT cast, same that Enkei does. Stronger than a cast only wheel, not as strong as a true forging. Used BBS's and a set of new P1's would prolly be close to the same, maybe within $100. I'd say STi wheels just for bragging rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonLGT Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I would say BBS for the reasons stated above, but even forged wheels can be bent. It all depends on the tire and how much sidewall you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NutBucket Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 P1's have a reputation for being very strong even though they are cast. You can't really go wrong with either though. I just wish the P1's came in wider widths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous1 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I have encountered many potholes with my STi BBS Not a bent rim so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
