Wheel horror.......

This car had BBS wheels fitted, so a well-known and respected marque. On three of the wheels the spokes had cracked but with no other obvious signs of wheel trauma so pot-holes or kerbs can't be blamed.

Looking at the spokes it was only a matter of time before the entire hoop would have detached.

Is there any way to tell them apart?   

Give the edge a clout with a lump hammer, if they're copies most likely will fracture, BBS forgings will just distort. Fair bet they're cast replicas of the original forged and heat treated rims looking at those pics.
