Lol why buy fake ones when you can have the satisfaction of real ones? Obvious answer.

I mean if it's for the same amount of $ the answer is obvious, OEM.

Not a good question; You should be able to answer that one yourself. I would have seen if you said the real BBS cost a $1000 more are something like that, But the same price.

AlexRo · 09-18-2011, 09:09 AM

they are not the same price. bbs ch r are 2500$ and bbs lm 4000$ - OEM both

AlexRo · 09-18-2011, 09:16 AM

i'm about to order the BBS CH-R 19 x 8.5 et 32 front and 19 x 9.5 et 35 rear. which is the best tires' size to choose? 235/35 F and 265/30 R is good?

Yeah but the LM Reps are fake. Lol. I guess no one will notice the difference but I would rather have the satisfaction of owning OEM BBS rather than fake replica ones.

Obvious answer is the fakes will not be as strong as the real ones. BBS are great.

real

eaglesfan83 · 09-19-2011, 09:36 AM

Go for the real deal!

The real BBS CH-R is made from cast aluminum, hence, that is why they are cheaper in price than the real BBS LM (which is made from forged aluminum).

For the fake BBS LM, I suspect they are also made from cast aluminum. But there are different techniques in making cast aluminum, and the real BBS uses Flow-Forming Process. Unless you know the kind of technique the fake BBS LM uses, they could use the lowest quality technique in making cast aluminum (i.e. gravity casting).

I've learned my lesson.... REAL > fake anyday. Question, why did you not get a forged 2 or 3 piece wheel instead? You can get some really nice once for the same price if not cheaper then BBS

always remember this video:
