I saw this ad on craigslist for some freshly powder coated e55 wheels. I had the seller send me some pictures of the back of the wheels so that i could have u guys tell me if you think they are counterfeit or real please.




also there are some paint issues on the edge of the trunk lid so I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions for a prepainted #960 alabaster white amg style trunk spoiler

Check out this video on how to tell the difference between a real & replica wheel. The wheels you've posted look legitimate as far as having the correct markings/part numbers and the star logo next to the pn but as the video says the logo on the face is a real giveaway.

I see your wheels are made in Austria, the set I have were made by Cromodora in Italy, they're the same design but off of an SL55 so the offset is different. Mercedes could have used multiple vendors for wheels depending on the size/offset/design/year.

I've never seen replica wheels with MB part numbers. I would say they are real.

Usually if they have the MB part number they're real. The only concern I have is that the MB logo isn't the normal crisp logo which makes me wonder if it's a fake.

could that be because they were just powdercoated?
