how to tell replica rims from oem

How can I tell if looking on ebay for e63 rims if they are replicas or real oem rims?

This is what I am looking at and I can't tell:

You first clue would be that the seller on craigslist, not fleabay, claims MY09 - MY10. 2 different models with 2 different offset requirements. That would be a red flag right away.

Second clue is price.
