Does anyone know any major differences like weight or material wise? i know the sizes and design are consistent

thanks

BBS's are like a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles hair lighter or something.
In the ounce department, is what I've been told more than a few times. Personally I wouldn't care.

yea... no real difference at all

Yeah I have both and can confirm they are almost identical. I am currently having them filled and drilled to 4x100. I should have back tomorrow. I will put the fundo and the bbs on a digital scale tomorrow ( with them both filled and drilled ) and give you weight specs on both. I would bet anything that they are the exact same mold. I have inspected these wheels thoroughly and can tell you the only visual difference is one says bbs and the other has fundo in the same location. I will update this thread with the specs I find hopefully tomorrow.

Usually car companies have more than one manufacture of a part - that way they don't have all their eggs in one basket. I believe they have the wheels built to a specification.

My guess is that fundo, will be every bit as good as bbs.

I really like the Fundos personally... any of the spec differences between the two wouldn't be enough to care

bbs with fill and redrill caps and valve stems - 18.7 lbs

fundo with fill and redrill caps and valve stems - 18.9 lbs

a difference of 3.2 oz
