Help please, new alloys, genuine or fake?

Hi, i have just had a new set of style 168 alloys delivered. I asked the seller many times to assure me they were genuine. he told me they were ronal and were made for bmw, I have had ronal wheels before and i know they make oem wheels for a lot of cars.
I just have my suspicions.
Ronal sticker and not stamp on wheel.
no bmw part numbers.
various stamps on wheel inc:
jw via 785kg
>w-476<
bmw 9 799 098
155 20%101/2jj
11+++++
et30
wheels go from alloy colour through to gunmetal grey to back.

Hope someone can help.

IMHO i think they are fake. If they were Ronal, why would they put a BMW stamp on it? It's either one or the other.

Actually taking a better look at the COA, there are errors on the certificate. With such a big company, you would think they would have someone checking how a certificate is drafted. It really should read:These wheels come with a one year warranty against structural integrity and paint degradation. or something to that effect.

Your second picture has so many dents, markings, scratches(?), etc. painted over. There is no way that these could be BMW OEM wheels. Sorry.
