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?

also with the knockoffs you will not be able to see where the rim bolts together.
