Hmm, those are similar, but the valvestem location is different (in fact I dont see a valvestem in your second pic), and the spokes on your wheels look thinner and the "diamonds" look longer, than in the second image.

very good condition for mid 80's wheels. but that would be my guess.
The second picture that you have posted is probably a replica wheel. maybe contact the replica company to see who they copied or if its original.

not bbs for sure. the mounting location(thread hole) of the center plate doesnt exist on a bbs wheel. bbs caps snap or screw onto a center hub collar

They look like knockoffs of the BBS RS. As was mentioned, the valve stem and area where the center cap mounts is different. Here's what true BBS RS's look like. These are on my E30. Sorry I don't have a better pic.

also, are those bolts real(are they multipiece wheels or just simulated?) on your wheels? do the bolts go through the lip and face and fasten on using a nut on the back of the rim? my guess would be american eagle or american racing company rs replicas as stated above

yeah i discovered today im a noob its just a really nice replica i found out today when i was trying to take off one of the center pieces and the RIVET snapped and i did what i should have done when i bought them , looked in the back to make sure they were really two pieces or not sigh.... oh well still worth the money for the tires and a new set of shoes. thanks !

**time to find a e30
