I need some help identifying if these wheels are legit or not. I am not that knowledgeable on bbs wheels or reps but they don't seem to match anything I can find in the bbs forged catalog. Can anyone shed some light on these? Thanks!

Not legit. I believe the "bbs" and "forged" stamps should be either side of the valve stem? Interesting these have the jwl stamp on them too.

Not gonna say legit, but that does not look to be the case based on the pics on Vivid Racings web site.

Also, to the OP, these are no longer in production so would not be in the BBS current catalog. If real you should snag them!!

Thanks for the info guys! What would be the steps in order to authenticate them from this point? I would assume stamping on the inside? I couldn't find any info on these so I have no clue what I should be looking for.

They should have a serial number on the inside. An email to bbs with that number would authenticate them. I do agree with tbuck most the pics I looked at the stamping was either side of the valve stems but there is some which aren't. Maybe look at the ones that aren't and see if they're consistently placed with the pics of these. Someone could have filled the stamps with red paint along the way. If they're knock offs, they're damn good ones.

Will do! Thanks again for your help. I was able to find the wheel tbuck posted on vividracing and they look nearly identical but I will have to try and get the serials to contact BBS directly.

Any update? If you don't get them let me know. The more I look the more they appear legit. I would love a set of FI's
