Title: Finally got genuine BBS ch's
Post by: Baz300 on August 07, 2012, 06:03:27 pm
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

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

Looking good but yes was going to mention it needed to be dropped to get it looking perfect :happy2:
