I ended up buying a set of fake BBS ch alloys a few weeks ago and honestly had no idea they were fakes when I bought them.
Picked up a set of genuine 19s last night

(iPhone pic sorry)
The difference is so easy to spot when the wheels are side by side
I know there is a guide online to spot the fakes but if I get a chance I will put up some pics of the differences

Looking good man!!!

Looks great :happy2:

Lovely wheels!
What width and offset are they? Did you buy them new?
Well wear, and good luck with them!

Cheers
I bought them second hand I was going to get brand new 18s and swap my tyres over but these came up on a local forum and had a look
There isn't a mark on any of the wheels and they came with eagle f1 s
They are 8x19 et50 with 235 35 19 tyres
I really need to get my b12 kit fitted this weekend to close the arch gap
