BBS wheels- best price?

BBS $$$
$700/wheel? I have checked around online and founs $229. I can't belive that they have that much markup. Is there something different about the BBS at Tirerack vs the BBS at the dealer?
Is one cast vs forged?
Thanks.

There is a major difference between the two. The biggest difference is that the 229 one is cast and the 700 one is forged. In addition, the 700 one is from BBS Japan while the 229 wheel is from BBS Germany. The model of the 229 wheel is the BBS RK model. These wheels are not factory option wheels from Subaru. These are wheels that have the necessary dimensions to fit Subarus.

I bought the Enkei Bortex RPM 2 (they look identical to the BBS wheels and are forged) and Kumho 225-45R17 tires from Whalen Tire for $1250.
