BBS are for German cars. Never liked them on anything else myself.
The HP's on my car (sold last year) are a similar design to the BBS style wheels, but were changed enough with concave and angled spokes to make me like them enough to use them. I still don't think they were the best choice "of all time", but they looked good enough. Straight spoke flat face BBS however I only like on German stuff for which it was designed in mind for.
As far as knockoffs, rule of thumb is never spend more on wheels than the car is worth.

I respectfully disagree about German wheels on a Japanese car.
After all, some Toyota cars (like the Supra TT) run OEM, German-made Bilstein springs and shocks. I had OEM Bilstein shocks on my Tundra. There are many Toyotas that run that run Bosch ignition components...
As far as BBS goes, BBS has made Toyota branded wheels in the past, especially in the TRD lineup, which is known for performance. Given this, it is difficult to support the argument that BBS-style wheels are only for German cars.
