Definitive way of checking real/fake BBS CH's.
« on: February 29, 2016, 06:48:10 pm »
I've come across what seems to be quite a good deal on some 'genuine' 18" BBS CH (ch025)
There are some smaller holes between the bolt holes, 'BBS' stamps, and 'GERMANY' stamped on the inside of spokes, along with other sizes and specs here and there.
That's all well and good but what's to stop any old cheap manufacturer stamping their fake wheels?
Is there any DEFINITIVE hard and fast rule to spot fakes apart from getting the scales out? Or do I need to bring the kitchen scales with me when I go look at them...

Cheers!

Unfortunatley they sold the same day I had scheduled to pick them up so I guess we'll never know!
