Style 87's how do you tell real or replica's ?
what are the visual stampings of the real ones vs. replica's ?

these replicas (andaya's) have stampings around the center cap here.....So what do the OEM's have different on them?

OEM rims are stamped BMW. Replicas are stamped BWM.

The OEM wheels have the stamp on the inside of the wheel as well as the BMW part number.
