Real or fake
Here's a fun one - can you tell the difference between fake and OEM wheels? Which wheels, if any, are authentic OEM?

Funny how pervasive the fakes are. Back in the day they copied the design but left the AMG branding out. Judging from the pics, the two forged AMG wheels are legit (the ones with the center wheel covers)

I was hoping this would have gotten more traction
Only 2 are legit - both Wolfman and 1bad are right i.e. only the wheels in #5 and #7 are legit ... the rest are fake
Biggest giveaway beyond finishes that are not offered by MB is the AMG logo - do a closeup on the AMG logo on a legit wheel, and you'll see how the other 5 are screaming fakes specifically how the right side of the "A" is a clean vertical to the left side of the "M" on a legit wheel

I looked when i was changing my wheels, and saw most are being sold as legit but arent. I was also years ago sold a set of reps that were supposed to be factory takeoffs and I called the guy out on it. I have alot of exerience w wheels.
