M parallel reps or oem???

[e345401]

just bought a set of "M parallels" for my 540. The seller claims to have bought the wheels for his 92 M5/Users/adriancallander/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Modified/2010/11-Jan-10/IMG_1493.JPGbecause he did not like the stock 17" throwing star wheels. I Just need to know if these are OEM or reps??? hopefully the pics helps!/Users/adriancallander/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/2010/11-Jan-10_2/IMG_1492./Users/adriancallander/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Modified/2010/11-Jan-10/IMG_1493./Users/adriancallander/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/2010/11-Jan-10/IMG_1491.JPG

Something is seriously wrong with your post. You've linked to your own personal computer(?) which is not shared with the rest of the world, hence no one but you can look at the pictures ;)

You must upload your pictures to a photobucket (or similar service) account and then link to them.

There are some tell tale signs of reps and oems. A lot of reps don't have a recessed spot for the M sticker. Pics of the stamping on the back is the best way to tell. The factory part number should be there. OEM Style 37 Mpars were offered only on E39's, E38's, Euro 95 E34 M5's. No BMW logo on the back, just the part number. Note also that OEMs are forged, most reps are cast so casting marks are easy to spot.
The two most common below:

Usually it goes like this that reps are polished w/ clearcoat, OEM is painted silver.
