Quit worrying and enjoy those wheels.

Those are authentic BMW wheels, no they don't all say BBS on them.

I too, like one of the above posters, am dealing with wheel issues star spoke 124s.

i just noticed the difference in shape, that is fascinating, the one on the right looks like a shape you would see on a wheel that is forged (pounded with a triphammer from a block piece of heated aluminum) and the one on the left looks most like what you normally see with a cast (molten aluminum poured into a mold) BMW OEM wheel.

I would compare the wheel weights! I would hate the fact that my left wheel was heavier than the right wheel (for example) !

i emailed the pics to the parts guy and ill see what he says. just seems ridiculous that i wouldn't get identical wheels.

I would at least ask for matching rears and matching fronts. Also, I think I read somewhere that BBS sometimes makes BMW OEM wheels. I can't confirm though.

from the parts manager........ I edited out stuff that was not pertinent but I thought this may be useful if others have had this issue..

"I have seen this on other BMW Wheels, They are just different runs of the
same wheel by different mfg. The front is the same but the way make there
moulds are different. I have seen this on fronts of the 166's, but this is
the first time I have seen rears. Unfortunately there is not much I can do
about this. it is an on going non problem with BMW rims. I get what they
send me. There is no problem with fit or balance or weight of the rim. It just looks
different on the inside. Sorry for any disappointment. The only way I could
match rims for sure is to order a hundred of them and match mfg's. Sorry
even on the dealer level that is not possible. BMW does not think this to be
a problem so they will not take them back for freE"
