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
