    Right so they're not BBS, they're BSX Rs fake splits. They're 7J wide.



    And a rip off!

    Im not a fan of the bsx fake splits tbh, so i'd say dont bother lol. Look for a second hand set of wheels on wheel whores or something.

    If you know BBS wheels it's not hard to tell a fake. Weave pattern, centre cap design, bolt pattern, shape and size of the bolt head.

    I suppose your every day max power reading carpark tit won't know the difference though.

    Cause they say lenso on the centre cap Which is different design to thr bbs one the bolt pattern is wrong compared to a real dish the valve is in the wrong place and also is where a bolt should be in there pattern and the spoke pattern differs slightly to a real bbs

    theyre certainly alot better than lensos. Lensos can be spotted a mile off becuase of there tiny dish. The dish on those replicas look slightly bigger.

    you can usually tell a fake aswell by the amount of bolts. fakes have more usually.
