Is there an easy way to know if Audi alloys are genuine?

    Just like the title says really, going to look at a set of RS3 alloys with a mate today and we were just wondering if there is a handy way of telling if their genuine and not reps. I know BMW alloys are stamped with a part number and with Bmw on the inside, are genuine Audi ones done the same ?
    Cheers in advance

    The RS3 was only released in 2011, are you sure these are the wheels you are buying?

    Anyway, a genuine audi wheel have a part number on the back, something like 8P0 191 255.

    Neilw you are spot on, I just rang him there now, they are S3 wheels he's going to look at , so basically genuine ones have a part num stamped on the inside and reps don't , would I be correct in saying that ?

    What year audi S3 are they off? Yes genuine ones will have a part number stamped on the back.

    I know that TSW make a lot of the OE alloys for Audi - at least my A4 5-spokes with the wide flat spokes have a TSW marking inside the wheelhub connection.
