the Work wheels have a 'dished' center and the BBS have flat.
Check it out. I think you will see what I mean.

the Work wheels also have way more bolts holding the wheel together.

From a (former) wheel designer standpoint, I'd say no.
I mean, there are so many mesh wheels on the market, its hard to not step on someone's toes even by accident.
Check out the rivet band too.
BBS has the rivets in a channel, Work has a bevel.
