Thanks for your responses guys - I'II check all markings tomorrow cos someone else told me earlier that, if genuine, they should be stamped ACS and ET43 and made by OZ - didn't think all this would be so difficult

I thought some replica companies had now got them looking identical and they only real way to tell was the part number on the inside edge?

Just be careful.

Just to clear up The holes on the alloys are for wheel alignment and they are on Most good reps and genuine

 

Schnitzer alloys are made by another company and this company will have the stamp on back IIRC

Tbh depending on what reps you are going for it will be very obvious especially if they are 2 piece alloys as the reps wont come apart

Always thought that rep's have a small hole inbetween each of the five bolt holes.

Also rep's will not have ac schnitzer in on the reverse side, wheels will have to come off to check this. think the above is a easier way of telling.
