Are These Contours Genuine?

[Gregarious7]

Hello,

Another simple question. Been looking for a decent set of Contours around my area to get the car back to how it came out of the factory. Found this:

Do these look genuine to you? How can I tell if they're genuine?

They do not look original genuine contours. They do not have the M logo by where the lug bolts go. There would be a little place for the logo go even if it had fallen off

Nope.

Ah yes, forgot about that. Glad I asked.

Thanks man!

These have quite a few red flags.

1. No ///M badge sticker location.
2. Incorrect offsets, all style 23 wheels (Contours) are ET41.
3. Made in Italy, style 23's are made by Rondell, a German wheel manufacturer, I'm pretty sure they are all made in Germany.
4. The hub side of the wheel looks wrong. Real contours have a flat hub mount surface, not raised like this wheel does.
