GLWS. For some reason, I'm drawn to the BBS weaves, even though the BMW branded weaves seem to be the exact same.
That's because BBS made the BMW wheels for a lot of E30 models (as did Lemer and Alu).
Back in the 80's BBS was selling the VW version of their 15x7 ET24 wheels but spec'd for VW/Audi/Seat. They were the exact same casting as the BMW version but the lugbolt seats were for ball-type lugbolts instead of tapered.
I bought a set of these in gold color from a military friend who had them on his MkII GTi in Germany and later sold them to a gent in the SF area.

Thanks for the insights Randy. Makes sense that the BMW weaves made by BBS, Lemer, Alu, etc., are the same, but I want to believe that BBS has better quality control. Plus my ocd won’t let me intermingle them. I have 4 BBS and one Alu and it bugs me. Haha
