You can tell the replica BBS CH wheels from the genuine item by the finish, and some casting details

The spigot ring detail. The genuine BBS have a alloy spigot center ring held in by a circlip. The reps are a larger center bore 66mm and are supplied with a plastic spigot ring.

Some of the center cap sizes are 66mm. BBS are only 56mm or 70.6mm.

The black and red detail CH are replicas as BBS did not produce this finish.

As I am not a site sponsor I cannot directly advertise that I may be an importer of BBS.;)

If you go to bbs.com you should get the details from there.
