I have strong feeling that this is fake BBS.
Can you guys indentify this wheel?
Thank you

While I can't ID this wheel exactly, I can tell you that it looks like no BBS wheel that has ever been in production in the past OR is in current production. It kind of looks like a BBS RC wheel, but it is totally fake - I had a real set of RC's on my old car, and they have much thinner spokes, a much better center cap, and a more rounded rim.

I think it's a fake. BBS wouldn't put a crappy plaque on the wheel rim. It's not their way.

I used to have rota wheels which gave me the option to place BBS centercaps like these. Those Rota/Konig where manufactured in the Philippines. They were pretty good quality and light. Amazingly, the two front tires mounted on them did not need any weights to balance. And the two rears, just needed the smallest weights on one side.
