The BS wheels are a nice one piece forged wheel, finely polished and meant mainly for good looks...but still a strong wheel. When going this route you are limited to the sizes and specs they dictate. If you are on a budget and BS has a wheel that you like the look of and it fits your car, this is not a bad choice.
The Forgelines on teh otehr hand are a 3 piece wheel designed to be raced on first...and to look good while doing it. They are works of art for sure, but the real beauty of them is the ability to get exactly the fitment you need with the center you choose and the inner and outer hoops the size you need. Then, say like a friend of mine recently that had an incident that dinged an outer hoop...all one has to do is replace the outer hoop without having to buy a whole new wheel.
Performance wise, my car got WAY smoother when I put the Forgelines on. I just put my second set of tires on them and both times I had one wheel balance with zero weights at all and all of the others take very little weight to balance. When they slip on the hub, they fit perfectly onto the hub centric lip...which I'm certain helps with the smoothness of them too.
They cost more for sure, it's up to you if you want to spend the extra dough on the better wheel though.
