Similar but different. OEM 359 M Y-spoke Competition rims (compared to BBS CH-R rims):
- 8 U-shapes and 8 Y-shapes (instead of 7 U-shapes and 7 Y-shapes)
- the U-shape pattern is more rectangular and smaller, alike a tuning fork (instead of more rounded corners and a bit broader);
- the Y-shape pattern is sitting lower (almost V-shape) (instead of more Y-shape than V-shape);
- ///M logo + BMW roundel (of course) (instead of engraved "Motorsport" and BBS lettering + BBS roundel + BBS valve);
- no gunmetal available (only silver [1M] or black [M3 GTS]) (instead of "Satin Titanium" [gunmetal]).
Design-wise in general: the stock 1M rims are more straight lines + sharper corners (more "busy" if you want), while the BBS CH-R has less straight lines + softer corners (more "airy" if you want).
Oh, and guess who's the manufacturer of the stock 1M rims ?
