Are the 07' wheels BBS knock offs?

crand002 · 02-12-2007, 09:02 AM

Does anyone know if the 2007 non Limited STi's have real BBS wheels or are the knock offs? The reason why I ask is because they don't have BBS stamped on the rim. Also, are they still forged?

Thanks

Subaru web site and brochure specifically call out that they are bbs. There is no mention of forged, but the 2006 brochure also just references the wheels as bbs, only mention of forged is on the optional wrx bbs wheels.

The limited wheels are definately not bbs.

^I know about the center cab being changed but was curious about the perimeter of the rim not having the BBS stamp but rather a STi stamp. Thanks for your help and confirming that are still forged. I will be trading rims with an 07' owner and I just want to make sure they are the same wheels with exception of cosmetics.
