xyber 1 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 They are cheap copies, compare the centre cap and the ridge on the outside or the rim, the real one has 3 sections between the spokes next to each other at the top with writing on them, the others have just 1, also the centre cap is bigger and raises up at a shaper angle, unlike the ebays mound like centre Link to post Share on other sites
amazak 3 Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Yeah, you have to be right, can't see the original bbs's selling for that price, cheeky though as the seller does not mention rep's! Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote']They never do, they somes sneak the word style in somewhere, if the have no decent brand name I wouldnt bother as they would probably be really soft alloy Link to post Share on other sites

But I will probably search quite hard to find good looking reps for this price. Link to post Share on other sites

amazak 3 Posted March 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 "they are not genuine bbs , as bbs went bust , but they are made with the original bbs moulds as the company sold them off regards richard"Response from seller above, I find it hard to beleive BBS are gone "bust" as BBS wheels are on loads of new cars from factory?
