The voice is very strange. Wheels from Japan, and the voice sounds Hispanic. Kind of spooky.

You obviously don't have an ear for Spanglish... The "Especia-r-y" was a clear indication of his Asianess.

^^^LOL!!!
Another big difference is that one wheels is alot cheaper to replace in case of damaging a wheel, and the other is a 2 month wait and easily about 4 times the cost of the cheaper wheel

^^^Yeah right... wouldnt last half that.
On a completely seperate note.
...Cause forged wheels are so much better.
This just happened last week from a local pothole.

The concept of the BBS y-spoke design is to support impact with little distance between spokes. At least the wheel did not fail while driving.
