Are these Real or Replica/Aftermarket Wheels??

I found these rims and was wondering if these are OEM AMG rims/wheels.
They're not the standard AMG that I normally see around.
I haven't seen these ones and I'm guessing they might be aftermarket.

What do you think?

Real or replica?

Authentic AMG wheels will have "AMG" somwhere on the face of the rim, ie on one of the spokes or somwhere along the lip.

Mercedes has a lot of wheels that are not AMG. These could be factory Mercedes wheels. you can only tell by looking for the emblem stamped on the inside of the wheel. They look factory, What's the problem.

those look OEM to me, they arent AMG rims though.

if you're really paranoid, take them off the car and inspect the inside. OEM rims have MB logo printed on them, and also the MB part #.

They are definitely Mercedes wheels fitted as an extra to many UK vehicles. 18" diameter as opposed to the standard 16".
