Dear TS, if you want to identify original & fake wheels, do a little study by yourself. The general way is to identify markings on the back of the wheels. Stickers on the wheel or box. Those are the general ways. These days replica wheel makers does not include certification stamp markings that comes with genuine wheels. TUV for German, JIS for Japan, etc. And all of them differ from one model to another.

Some may be stamped on the wheel hub/ core. Some on the spokes or the barrel. So if you identify one wheel that you like and wish to buy, keep a track of these and when you go to shop, do checklist of these. No way you can tell just from pictures.

Another giveaway is the price. A set of RM 10000 wheel will not cost RM 2000 no matter what excuse the seller gives.

Also original factory wheels are really good. Even if most of them are ugly.
