Why would they be stamped BBS then if they are not genuine, look like very good copies if not genuine.

Seen this earlier. Looks like a scammer.

The auction had a buy it now price, then was listed as an auction with 99p start, then was bid on, then price reset to 99p again...

Smells of a scam, I doubt the wheels exist, copies or genuine.

How does this tell you its a scam??

The seller may have listed them as a Buy-It-Now and realised he had little interest - hence decided to list them as an auction to see what they go for.
Someone bid on item. Seller did not feel the buyer was genuine, and cancelled the b id. Hence price drops back to 99p.

All easily explainable.

That still leaves the initial question - how do you know they are fake?

True, it's possible. I'm still not getting my barge poll out.
