On a more serious note, I'm glad the guy is OK and nobody (including him) got hurt, but he deserves it for putting BBS center caps on replica wheels.. But still, that is massive damage even for a replica wheel...

Not totally related to the topic in discussion but I think, if you're going to use replica wheels, take them for what they are and use them as replica wheels.. Simple.. It's not cool at all to put VOLK, BBS, RAYS, or whatever other logo on replica wheels to try to make them pass as genuine...

The VW community is notorious for this. I just don't understand it.

You don't understand why poseurs want people to think they bought more expensive parts?

I would have to disagree, there are several reputable race teams that run Rotas without issue. These are another animal all together.

Any person that spends 5 minutes on the internet should be able to tell the difference between the two.

The real deal BBS has stampings all around the center and along the lips, you can literally spot it from a mile away
