differant manufactures often use differant alloy compounds. BMW OEM rims are particularly soft, most replicas are harder. This is not necisarily a bad thing - yes, it can make them more prone to fractures, but it also makes them less prone to buckling - i had the oem rims re-rolled so many times on my e30 that it just isn't funny... my bigger replicas never needed it, but then they did get less 'rough' use too

Great comment.
It's also noteworthy that sometimes the "better" wheels are not necessarily stronger - SSR's, for example, are some of the softest rims you'll ever encounter.
On the whole, though, BBS is probably the best and strongest rim money can buy, if you're going to go high end.
