Just a heads up for you all
[ebay]330336822827[/ebay]
These are not genuine BBS items.
-
page not responding mateyjavascript:void(0);
-
^^^ Fixed. :happy2:
-
They're a good fake - what's the 'tell tale' signs??
-
aside from a long price Id never be able to tell :surprised:
-
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
-
yummy looking wheel tho :ashamed:....should have i said that :innocent:
matsu
-
Thanks for the heads up Phil! :happy2:
-
ok there not genuine but at half the cost i'd be tempted although i'm not sure if they would withstand a pothole.
-
hes the same bloke who sold the black ones with red lips too !!, must have conned a few people with those
-
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:
-
i would be more worried about those GUCCI MENS STRAP TRAINERS he is selling :sick:

Crafty bugger, so they maybe genuine BSS's! :angry015:
-
:fighting:! :angry015:
-
The seller didnt hasnt got back to me in regards to my viewing request..... hence they are probably fakes ;)
-
BSS = Bullsh*t Seller!!
-
these are the ones i told you about a few weeks ago...... first time i have seen them as "original"......

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

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?

Just spoken to the guy, and he's going to remove the picture from his site.

It's a US spec grill, so I've relocated the shortened plate.
