CO's were only made in 7.5" width and stopped being produced a long time ago. If they're not 7.5" wide then they are OEM CHs

OEM CH types
Despite popular belief, the OEM wheels were not CO's, but pressure cast CH's. None have writing anywhere on the face (no "motorsports", no BBS/ET43/Germany on the lip). They use standard Audi sized centercaps and ball seat lugs, and have a centerbore of 57.1. They mount up with completely OEM hardware.

CH028: OEM on 2006 B7 S4, 18x8 ET43, PN: 8E0 601 025 [AB,AN] 1H7
CH024: OEM on A3 3.2 S-Line, 18x7.5 ET54, PN: 8P0 601 025 R 1H7. Writing on back "BBS CH 024, 03 45 056, ET54, 8PO 601, 025R".
CH029: OEM on MKV ED30, 18x7.5 ET51, known as "VW PESCARAS". PN 1K0 601 025 AT QQ9. (Also available under PN 1K0 601 025 CC - not sure what the difference is.) These wheels are "Titan Grey" [QQ9], which is a slightly darker finish than the standard silver, [1H7].
CH???: OEM VW Individual (Europe), 18x7.5 ET51, known as "Rockingham". PN 1K0 071 498 AT QQ9. Apparently has alignment holes, unlike other OEM wheels (???).
I've also heard rumors of an ET56 variant. Not confirmed though.

CO Type
The CO is the cheaper, gravity cast sibling of the CH. As of this writing, I think BBS has stopped making these. They have no "Motorsport" writing on face but the same descriptor writing around lip. They all came in either Silver or Polished [aka Plasma/POK]. They use ball seat lugs and do not require PFS centering rings (They are native 57mm centerbore). I am not sure, but I believe only VZ033 was available in the US market.
CO004: 16x6.5 ET50.
CO001: 17x7.5 ET51.
CO002: 17x7.5 ET47.
VZ033: (yes, part number starts with VZ) 18x8 ET44, 24.5 lbs.

I thought they were going to be discontinued as well, but tirerack still sells them and in the 18x8 for our cars.
