last one!

Okay, here's my question...

These are 16" knock-offs of the 17" (Evolution pkg?) C-Coupe rims... bought them from this shop, highly recommended by my dealership.. the dealership sends its showroom cars there to get big rims instead of getting it from their own parts Dept... and also recommends the place to customers

Anyway, the manager of the shop says they're knockoffs that were made in Italy..

but at the back, says MADE IN UE



??

UE?

UnionEurope // European Union???

The size of that wheel is 7 J x 16. 205/55R16 is the optimum tire size for that wheel.
