They should have the manufacturer name cast/stamped on the inside face of one of the spokes...not sure who makes these but for instance, my 18" Monza's have 'RONAL' embossed on the back face of one spoke.

The manufacturer will be cast into the wheel (sticking out) rather than stamped into them, they will also have the VW logo on them and part number etc.
Just some of the manufacturers that make OE VAG wheels are:
Ronal
Speedline
BBS
