I've done a bit of reading on the subject of fake BBS CH's and the only thing I've learned is that the fakes are really good copies

The most informative thread I found was here.

I'm not 100% certain, but I don't think 18" 5x100 ET45 genuine BBS CH's exist. However, don't flame me 'cos I'm really not sure. If they do exist, I don't think they have the extra little holes as these were used by Mercedes for laser alignments on the lower offset wheels.

No disrespect intended to the OP. I hope he can prove their authenticity.

I paid £560 for them so if there are any offers there for that then fine - come pick em up. Else I'm going down the joy of 'Ebay Resolution' process. Didn't realise that the BBS originals were so expensive. Arnt they the same as the Golf GTI Edition 30 - surely VW would not put 3k of wheels on a GTI? What makes BBS so expensive? Pleased I never got round to putting them on the car - seller was hounding for feedback, clear why now. Having said that they do look cool. I have a WR1 but I think the colour contrast is a bit light. Better on a Black or Scooby Blue car.
