\Yea....I still dont see the marking. There is one on the valve stem cap and writing on the inside of the hub area but nothing that says BBS. They put it on the inner lip between the spokes....

I'd be surprised if they were reps as those used to belong to a Vendor on M2 who recently sold and adverstised them as the real deal.

It all good...even the way the wheel looks as far as material is concerned definitely looks suspect...thats all.

ASA wheels perhaps with BBS caps? They look remarkably similar

Ahhh....I was going to mention that...You are most indeed probably correct! I was going to buy some ASA's that were CSL reps that looked dead on like that. Same material too...Good looks!

Those look like genuine BBS RC's --- I have a set, and they are identical, as far as I can tell from the photos.


And damn - they look awesome on a MINI!!!!
