Trying to decide between these two wheels in 18" trim. What are your opinions.

I missed all this yeasterday, was to much into a AWD vs FWD question...

I would choose the rim that is the lightest one, if it is AC or BBS, well I don't know. But I do know this: A BMW M5 E39 with original rims and one with BBS RS (it's the lightest one that BBS has, well maybe except CH since I don't know how if it's lighter...), same tires = The one with BBS rims will accelerate faster than the one with original rims.

About tires: I would recommend that you check on M5.com site, and the message board there. Search for Bridgestone and you will end up in a discussion where the new S-03 PP tire will get sever damage (as in: NO ONE LIKES IT). I myself are using BBS RC and S-02 PP, they are very noisy but the grip is there. S-03:s are way wrong way to go.... I will test Pirelli Zero Rosso (or maybe the original one, the yellow) next time.
