Edit: Misread the question, thought you were asking about the wheels in the photo! I'm almost certain they are. I know BBS makes the Carrera Sport IIIs and those have a similar BBS marking.

We have the President and VP of Sales visiting today and happened to see your thread so I asked the question for you.

The Centerlock forged aluminum wheels are not made by BBS. The only forged centerlock OE Porsche wheel BBS produces is in Forged Magnesium for the 918

All the cast flow formed wheels are made by BBS for Porsche.

Oops, sorry about my incorrect answer earlier! I thought you were asking about the wheels in the photo... if that BBS meant they were made by the manufacturer and not something else. I should have noticed that the spokes were clearly cast and not forged.

Porsche's 2017 Tequipment 911 catalog page 18 says the 20" RS Spyder Design wheels are forged. I took a photo from under the car, looks like a BBS stamp:
