how to tell a fake rim?

i'm planning to buy evo 2 rims but when i checked bekkers, only two offsets were available et 34 (17X8.25) and et 37 (17X7.5). someone is selling me used rims but i'm having my doubts since the offset is et 30 (17X7.5). would anyone know how to verify if its authentic or a replica? i'm wondering if oem's were ever made in et 30.

offsets may have been for some other car... even mb's own lines vary on offset even tho same bolt pattern...
