>From what I've heard they are a copy of the German BBS RS's.
I believe the RS's have "type 47" stamped onto the face of the wheel behind
the center cap (at work so I don't have the wheel in front of me to be
sure).
One way to tell them apart from the Japanese ones.

TSW's, Totally Soft Wheels, but yet very heavy, go figure.

PS please keep the flames to one line each to conserve space on the server,

	Mine have proven to be VERY strong.. I've hammered 'em a couple of
times 
	where I was fairly sure I'd have tweaked one or more.. no damage
whatsoever.
