How to differentiate Real and Replica BBS rims

[Ahbengdriver]

Was at a shop shopping for rims. 'SFW' was there too.

Went through the BBS catalogue and enquired about pricing for some models of BBS rims. Prices appear higher than what I noticed in another shop previously. Nothwithstanding the price differences which I am still trying to figure out why, the thing that came to our mind was....how to tell a real BBS from replica? Would the price difference be due to real vs replica?

The color finish is a giveaway from what I have seen so far. Real BBS one is brilliantly finished and smooth. Also typically in BBS, u can see the offset is embossed on the outside. What model did u get sir?

Nice rims...It's the new range that models after the CH to a certain degree.
In fact, the CK resembles the Ferrari's 360 CS rims.
Good choice mate
