The race prep option includes:
Pocketed machining (they cut out extra unneccessary metal on the back of the wheel, back pad, and spokes).
Titanium reverse fasteners
Aluminum center cap
As for the BBS RS-GT, I personally don't like that wheel.

Just gotta get the weight issue out of my mind.
I think the other companies need to take note of how light 360 forged wheels are. I had no idea the Rads are about 30lbs.
Less rotational mass and unsprung weight.

OK Tony....I'll be the 1% that votes for the 360's over the Rads. I like the Straight Ten's and the Split Seven's, but not the rest of the lineup. As you said the rest look like other more common wheels.
Also, I like brushed aluminum better than machine polished as it looks more "matte" and modern. The machined polished wheels usually have a more shiny look when compared to brushed and I prefer the matte.

I know Tony, you can give me your R10's now... and you will be forced to get new wheels. =) Choose fast so I can sell your R10's... =D

I want to see how these sub 20 lb wheels will hold up to pot holes @60mph. I've hit a few and got only a minor bend in one of the rear R10 wheels.
