Help please, new alloys, genuine or fake?
 
4 Attachment(s)
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.

Worried now

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.

"These wheels come with one years warranty". :rofl::rofl:

So I'll take that as fake then?
Got them from supersportwheels.co.uk

Easy telltale right in the pic. No front stampings

zetecor 04-10-2012 06:34 PM

front stampings?

There usually be stamp on the front of the wheel around the bolt holes.
Here is a real set http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/par...20-wheels.html

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