How to tell if brabus wheels are authentic?

So as the title suggests, So i might b pulling the trigger on a set of Brabus Monoblock S's, the price is quite reasonable, but because of the amount of knock offs out there in the market id like to know exactly what Im buying. What is it on the brabus wheels that allows u to tell if they are originals or replicas

I heard that they have brabus embossed on the inside of the backside of the wheels (not engraved)

is there any other tell tail signs? Serial numbers, model numbers or anything?

any one got pictures of the backside of original brabus wheels?

As you mentioned, I would look for the "Brabus" stamp located on the wheel. Replicas usually tend not to have this.

Both of those wheels are stamped so I'd say they are original, but, why do you have a picture of a chrome wheel and one of a brushed silver wheel?

Also, what size are these? I've got a set of these wheels in all black 19", custom 3pc w/ tires if you are interested.

I was pointing out to the OP that authentic Brabus wheels usually have a Brabus "stamp". Which is the reason why I have pictures of two different types of wheels (chrome & brushed).
