I have a set of BBS CH 18x9.5 and a set of BBS CH-R 18x8(raderwerks) replicas for the winter.
So what?
I could say the same about people with Fake rolexes, I own a genuine Submariner, but yet 80% of the people I see with "rolexes" wear amazingly cheap ones but yet say it's a genuine. I'll bet at least one of those can be spotted in this thread, bitching about wheels. Who the fuck cares, a wheel is a wheel, a watch is a watch. If someone doesn't have the money to buy BBS's but still has some taste, he's going to get the reps. The people who buy BBS's for the performance aspect, aren't the ones with monetary issues anyways, 50% of BBS owners got BBS not for the reliability aspect but to POSE - putting stretched tires on a car with about 80hp. I got mine because the set of tires I had cost more than the wheels. Oh and for the record, BBS are so soft, replicas are actually tougher sometimes.
I much prefer someone rocking tasteful reps rather than some "genuine" chromed wheels.(not you ATR)
