Signature SV104s, BC Forged RZ21

Are these identical, anyone know what the difference is between Signature Wheels and BC Forged ?

IIRC, the Psyspeed dude ditched BC and started selling similar wheels for way more money.

EDIT: There was another story about it in the BC thread, but I'm sure they'll come in here and clear everything up.

BC / Signature

Best I can tell (speculation to follow), there is a factory in Taiwan that makes these wheels. BC Forged was selling them as a rep, but was not exclusive. Their biggest distributor was PYSpeed, who eventually went straight to the factory and started selling under the Signature Wheel brand. I believe them to be the same wheels, from the same factory.

Signature Wheel was actually a bit less than BC Forged when I priced them both FYI, and the service from PYSpeed has been very good.

This is my speculation from my research and could be wrong, but I don't think so.

I've been told by a someone in the know that it is the same factory that makes the wheels. I'd go with the cheaper of the two. I have Signature SV104 and love them... would buy them again in a second.

Same wheels from same manufacture in Taiwan. Signature was significantly more expensive when I priced it out. Had a problem with that knowing they are from the same place

They are the same thing. BC wheels were very good to me in terms of quality and strength on my old E39.

Signature ended up costing cheaper, a win win for me. Would buy again also
