I've never seen a replica wheel that has the BMW logo & 11 digit part nbr on it before....at least not engraved or molded into the wheel like BMW does for its oe wheels

BMW oe wheel info:
engraved info usually means the wheel is forged...meaning made from one solid piece of alloy...which means any wheel info must be engraved into it like in these Style 37 forged MPars:



(rear MPar w/ BMW part nbr engraved


(front MPar w/BMW 11 digit part nbr & wheel specs {8"x18" w 13mm offset} engraved)



(BMW logo engraved into rear spoke of a Style 37 MPar)


molded wheel spec info means that the wheel is cast alloy...when the alloy is poured into the wheel's mold...the info is then molded into the wheel

(BMW oe Style 87 wheel specs w/BMW logo & part nbr & other wheel specs molded into the wheel)
