Hello.
I just purchased a set of used Genuine OEM 506 jcw wheels. On eBay (I know I knew better). Much to my surprise they were new wheels. Look just like a 506 mini wheel but there’s no lettering casting on the wheel. It’s stamped or engraved and says Taiwan in the stamping. The box has 3 pages show how it’s stamped with genuine, mini part number. I think it’s a fake wheel but just asking advice from the experts.. Thanks in advance ps its cold here in Indy a wheel was on my patio that’s frost in photo.

Link to the auction? Any better pictures of the actual wheels in question?

Thats looks like the marking on the newer wheels. Some of the newer TW produced wheels look like that. I dont have any in stock right now to compare.
The finish is how you can tell on MINI wheels, you can see the quality. Also check that center cap section, it should look like these.
