Alibaba Forged Wheels vs BBS? Custom FI-R Style Wheels (Full Review + Engineering Breakdown)

Custom forged wheels from Alibaba—are they actually legit? In this video, I walk through my full experience ordering a set of custom forged wheels inspired by the BBS FI-R Evo design, including unboxing, first impressions, and a technical breakdown of the forging process, materials, and real-world considerations.
