The detailing on the wheel is very different to the genuine BBS.
1. The Genuine CH does not have this fitting badge
2. The markings on the rear of the wheel are incorrect
3. The center bore and spigot ring fittment is different
4. The finish on the wheel is poor, casting flaws etc

ok there not genuine but at half the cost i'd be tempted although i'm not sure if they would withstand a pothole.

what an absolute joke!

replica goods are sold all over the world and i can kind of understand that, if some people cannot afford it. however, it really really gets my back up that this seller is offering these items as the real deal!!

it winds me up so much, im pretty sure these are made at the same place wheel base is buying there wheels.

They are flying out of the doors at 460quid, as you can imagine, but at least wheel base arent not trying to flog them as genuine!

rant over, its ridiculous

The 'Germany' stamp on the rear looks odd.

Some of us have the luck of having the real deal :wink:
