AMG 20" 10 Spoke Forged Wheels Made in TW
I bought a set of 20" wheels, it says on the inner hub, Made in TW. Im assuming TW is Taiwan. Did MB have wheels manufactured in TW or did I get a set of knockoffs?

I got them from a guy a few towns over. He had an add on Kijiji (like Craigslist) I had a buddy go look at them, but he's not a car guy just went to see if they existed and weren't trashed. Hmmm I do think Taiwan is odd for OEM Benz equipment.. but then a knockoff could just engrave Made in Germany in them no?

First take a picture of it and post, that is the made in TW print. It should be on the inner hub face with the part number also stamped. I have stock, forged, S65 AMG wheels with the "made in TW." So YES, MB did have some forged wheels made in TW.

A lot of European and American car manufacturers have their OEM wheels manufactured in Taiwan and China. Land Rover, Aston Martin, Chevrolet, and Chrysler do this as well.

You are 1000% wrong!😂
My 2019 S63 that I just completed European Delivery on has TW stamped on the the 20” factory wheels the dealer just pulled off the car when I had the dealer put on the exact same wheels (this second set of oem takeoff wheels I purchased off of e-bay since I wanted to have a second set of wheels that are identical without paying dealer prices for winter tires—and this second set has TW stamped as well). All eight wheels are identical with the same markings including the 222 part number that is in the electronic parts catalogue that I subscribe to.
