Default wheels

Hi guys I have non original wheels on my csl they look the same with the numbers around the centre but no bmw. Are they from Alufelgen?

My question is sometimes the wheels look really light grey in bright light, like too light in colour to suit the car. Is that the case with the OEM? Is there a difference in colour and do you think it is worth changing? I believe there is a 3 pound difference in weight across the 4 wheels combined in favour of OEM BBS.

Better illustrated with a pic, for comparison. Are they stamped BBS on the reverse?

doesnt matter, BBS don't make CSL rims without BMW on them

ID say either get them refurbed to proper colour or sell and buy some new ones from BMW. Only downside to the reps is that they may be of inferior quality, but does that matter?
