Need Help Identifying wheels..

Hey guys,

I'm looking at these wheels, and I'm trying to find out if they are reps or genuine Mercedes wheels. Can you help me out?

The wheels in question:

The specs are 18x8 et33, 18x9 et30

That's a replica of Carlsson 1/16 BE.

You can get the real one from here directly: http://ggituning.com/index.php?manuf...=&filter_id=24
18x8.5 = $250 each
18x10 = $300 each

Sure looks like Carlsson but I cant tell if they are OEM or reps. They are pretty mashed up!!

Are you sure that applies to all their wheels? I can swear ive seen real Carlsson wheels without the engraving. I could be wrong...

Almost all Carlsson models have engraving. If I remember correctly, only 1 model does not have engraving but painted instead. It is the old RS lightweight
