Replica

Hi, i was just wondering how you know the difference between replica and oem wheels?

One is made authorized by BMW one isn't. It will clearly state BMW on the rim, most replicas say BWM. Some BMW OEM's will say "BBS" as that is who makes them for BMW in some cases. Another way to test is most non-BMW wheels will not match the OEM roundel size.

Thank you Wagner. I am about to buy style 168 oems and was just making sure they arent replica's.
