Recognising Genuine CSL Rims

Hark · 11-12-2010, 10:26 PM

Hi

Just registered with the site as I figured this was the most sensible place to ask this question. Currently drive a Z4M and have been looking at getting some CSL rims in the spring.

With so many replicas being sold, I wondered if there is a sure fire way to recognising a genuine set?

Many thanks in advance.

Although alot of the companies making the reps are putting the part numbers on the front of the wheel, I don't think they are stamping 'BBS' into the back on the hub of the wheel. I don't they're allowed to, to be honest. There's probably a load more tell tale signs but this is the only one I can think of for now. We're a friendly community so no doubt others will be along soon to help.

Welcome BTW

They also have a small BMW stamp on the front,which reps dont have.
