which one would you choose?

I have tough time deciding between BBS RGR or the SSR GT-3, both are roughly same price, BBS are about 5~6 lbs lighter per wheel but I like the looks of SSR, just wondering which one would you purchase?

Tough decision, Shane. Out of the 3, I tossed out the Lexion. I have run both the BBS mesh set-up and the split 5 spoke on my bimmers. I loved them both. It's a coin toss.

I really like the Lexion, but not in the Diamond Cut finish. Out of the other two, I prefer the BBS, although I disagree that it's the same as the RS-GT. They look similar, but RGR is a one-piece design, whereas the RS-GT is two piece.
