Are these genuine or replicas i dont have any photos of the back as ive not bought them yet but i thought the centre caps look like genuine ones but some of you guys might no better ways to spot a fake
-
they look fake as the cap should sit flush i think but i am not 100% sure
-
but the caps on my 17s look exactly like these and mine are all stamped and came on the car from the factory
-
get the name off the back of them and anything else stamped on em
-
ive contacted the guy to see if it has germany vw and bbs stamped on it and to see if the offset is et51 and if the rim width is 7.5j if it has all these im convinced they are real but i thought maybe some ppl on this forum could tell from the front of the wheel all i know is that the centre caps are usually smaller on replicas and there is usually no edge on the rim but its hard to see in these pics with them being black.
this is a pic of a replica wheel on ebay just now see what i mean about the rim and the centre cap
