BMW never used BBS ch on any model. If they are genuine, they will have BBS stamped on the lip in between the spokes, also made in germany on the in side of the spokes, but you won't see this without taking the wheel off.

What model are they off?

Certainly does, unless they're genuine fakes of course

Should also have made in germany on the inside of one of the spokes, think you'll be safe if they have that as well

do i have to take wheel off to see this made in germany or can i simply get on my knees again and shine the torch on the face lol

Really need to take the wheel off

Could be real could be genuine fakes

dy63 · 01-10-2015, 12:20 PM

also. how much shall i ask for them to sell? with tyres?

Jase 320d · 01-10-2015, 12:21 PM

Fake £350

Real £800 (possibly more)

If you really have a major aversion to removing a wheel, use a mirror.

Jase 320d · 01-10-2015, 12:24 PM

/\ sometimes stamped on rear face that bolts to hub

Dont know about bbs though

i think they are BBS CH but what BMW 3 digit number are they? they are 18"

I mite be wrong but i dont think genuine BBS Ch alloys came with a polished lip edge and black centre...

These were the standard finish for BBS CH alloys..

depends on condition, widths, off sets, tyre brands & tread depths. Are they staggered

I've seen lots of VAGs with this finish, don't know if it's standard or refurbed finish

probs had a refurb

basim07 · 01-10-2015, 01:31 PM

just pull the wheels off! you can never be sure till you do even then you can still get fooled

you need to see the back of the spokes and even then they can be identical to the real deal. But it will also give you sizes and fitments.

Also the real deal will be considerably lighter than reps and the quality of the stamping on the rears will be better.

you need to look at the whole picture tbh

RajB · 01-10-2015, 02:17 PM

You need to take one wheel off buddy. Only way to be 100%.

I love BBS rims and have had probably in the region of about 7 sets over the years (CH's, RC's, etc, etc). Only way is on the back buddy.
