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

Diddnt notice that part  :ashamed: Are BBs wheels direct bore on the 5x112 fitment?

The aftermarket CH`s are all PFS, meaning they need centering rings for the hubs.

These are alloy rings 80+mm for the 5x112 pcd held in to the wheel center by a circlip.

As the previous buyer of genuine BBS CH's (when they were a lot cheaper lol!) I would say these are a great copy, and I wouldn't hesitate fitting them myself. I had them on my LCR ( The genuine ones!!)

You did the right thing  :happy2:


Because you got them off me   :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:  By the way, if they are fakes blame Hurdy as I got them from him!!!  :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: 

Seriously though, I would never go for fakes myself, whether advertised as such or not... Thanks for the heads up.  BTW, shouldn't Trading Standards be notified?
