Are they the wheels you're looking for?
Hard to say on your pic, but if you're after these they look real to me (but the inside of the spokes would tell you more.
For 900 and if they are to your taste I would buy them. Someone had them refurbished (new and with just a paintjob they would cost more unless the seller is really struggling to find a buyer)

The better replica's can only be recognized by weight and bbs printed in the wheels (imitations don't have that...)
On the link I posted you can clearly see the bbs logo so I guess they are real. I would collect them and check them in real and you might have a nice wheelset.
Hi,
Before I commit to buying these wheels please can anyone help me determine if they are the real thing or if they are replicas?
Here are some images:
Thanks
They look awesome mate, 100% Go for it! Fake or not they are the tits!
Check Those carefully m8, They should come in bbs boxes
And each wheel should weigh less than 11kg, lots of the
Reps have identical marking to the originals, also reps have
The offsets crudley stamped on inside of rim, original
Bbs offsets should be moulded inside the rim, also reps
Have a machined groove finish on inside, genuine bbs
Should be smooth on inside, ive had 3 sets of chs and
These have been my findings, hope this may help.

BBS markings are IN NO WAY AT ALL an indication of genuine wheels!!
The pics aren't working for me, are they CHs like people are mentioning?

Pics are showing now. There's not enough information in the pics to tell, have a look at this thread and you should be able to work it out if you have access to the wheels and can look at some of the finer details. Black with a red rim is a definite alarm bell though, genuine ones do not come in that finish!

Ive been looking long and hard at these wheels, the only noticeable difference from the link CUPRAROB112 posted, which i do believe are geniune BBS wheels is that there are more stamps on the inside rim than on these wheels. They do look good tho but you can buy replica bbs for less than 400 pounds and get red center caps for 7 quid.. We will never know if fake or not unless we see the back of the wheels
This is the inside of the wheel he has sent me, what am I checking for?
also reading this thread they are reps:

He replied to me with this?
"BBS went bankrupt in 2007, this was one of a range of special edition finishes that the new owners of BBS did when they came back on to the market after six months of ceased production at the BBS factory.
The spigot rings are an interchangeable part and therefore removeable. My golf was running them with the correct spigot rings to suit. You can buy the correct spigot rings on ebay, to suit a different range of cars with 5x112 fitment.
They are genuine BBS wheels. "
