Does this look legit???

They would look real good on my 335…

$1900 Just seems too cheap for these wheels…

its a multi piece wheel… rainwater gets traped in the channel created by the 3 pieces of the wheel bolting together… and throws off teh wheel balance by staying in the rim by centrifugal force… google it…  
all hre, iforged, maya etc wheels vibrate in teh rain…

Those are some gorgeous wheels.

BBS are really nice wheels, but the euro market is flooded with them.

how can water get trapped in there if you have a bead of silicone over the lip - shell connection… i’ve never heard of that

Wouldnt 3-piece BBS LM’s fall victim to the same issue then?
