it depends on the offset where the motorsport is on the originals
Greeners:
Very nice Darren! :happy2:
VC's got a full time job keeping the sigs up to date with us lot! :laugh:

i have seen these wheels in the flesh and they do look spot on. On the front face, you will struggle to tell the difference from the genuine. They even have the bbs logo on. On the rear, you can spot them a mile off. You are lucky to have got a set of these, trading standards have been onto many places and since shut down a lot of places selling them. Theres guys on ebay selling these as genuine and i whole hearted hate them for that.

No doubt so do BBS for copyright theft and forging their logos.
IMO and please dont take this the wrong way Morty as I respect your freedom to choose, but this stuff is like fake Burberry to me, except a fake Burberry cap isn't possibly dangerous (except as a fashion item).
BBS wheels are made in Germany to TuV standards for safety and I know its been said before that some reps are made in good factories, but how does anyone know what really goes on in these Chinese factories.. especially ones producing replica (fake) goods and not ones that are audited by a legit authority/ or OEM? If the country can't make toys for Mattel or Milk for baby food without short cutting rules and introducing massive health risks for the sake of profit, then what safety/quality measures do we really think are put in place for products destined for the replica / black market?
but each to their own.
