Genuine rims?

[slammed dub]

Hi guys

Trying to understand if these are genuine or copies. There appears to be a BBS stamp but poorly visible.

Look genuine. I'd guess they have been redrilled to suit another PCD.

Thread marks in the "drilled holes too"

@surprising_skoda knows his bmw wheels

Definitely look to be redrilled to me

Yep, would safely enough say they're re-drilled genuine BBS wheels.

Look to be genuine wheels which have been re-drilled.
It's hard to tell from the photo but is the entire hole tapped or is the thread on one half of the hole? Some of the holes (top left and bottom left) look elongated.

Maybe a daft comment but is there enough metal between the holes to be safe? Looks quite thin tbh

 

[Gambit]

I wouldn't trust the drilled holes looking at the shape of some of then, looks like they've literally be squeezed onto something that had a slightly larger pcd, like they're drilled for 5x110 and someone has squeezed them on to a 5x112 with wobble bolts or likes

Wouldn't have any issue using them using original holes PCD tho just make sure you use correct radius seat wheel studs rather than tapered

Can always get them welded up. Obviously by someone decent

Hard to say, but known plenty with redrilled BBS without issue. Some drillings were a lot more ropey than above too.

A certain red Golf going to UD with us that time

Was also thinking of a certain bagged white clio with multi coloured RS's which did many many miles too.

Thanks guys. Found it a little odd myself that part of the BBS was visible.
Come off an E30 and had 25mm hub adapters fitted too. No wonder there was a wobble at 60mph. Lol

Pity, such a waste of a good set of wheels

Still should be fine on the bmw fitment.
