Genuine CSL 19" Magnesium Wheels??
 
Hello everyone!

I was wondering how easy it is to spot after market copies of these wheels??
Is this an issue when buying a CSL??

I'd appreciate any advice! Cheers

1. They are not magnesium
2. Bbs stamped on inner spokes
3. Part numbers stamped on inner spokes
4. Don't usually have BMW written on face near centre cap if replica.

5. Dual tone paint - inner drum colour is different to the spoke colour. Spoke colour is titanium, the inner rim drum is lot lighter (not sure what colour one would call it)

Rep have BB5 as opposed to BBS on the back of the spokes and weigh a lot more.

Yep, also less indentations and holes with some of the fakes.
If you look at some of the older posts on the E46 forums you should see some pictures of this.

FYI, my spare genuine set will be in the for sale section in the coming weeks
if you are after some.

Kindest,

Jonathan
